Forms 3.0 Pages

(Forgive me if this is a double post - been having problems w/ mail.)
I have a question concerning using pop-up pages in FORMS 3.0. I have the
following form:
Page 1 has one block - the user enters data into some of the fields. They
hit EXECUTE QUERY and I have a trigger that copies the data entered to
another block on page 2, goes to block 2, and then does an EXECUTE QUERY
using the copied data from page 1. What I would like to happen, is after
the query is performed, I'd like to pop-up a page (page 3) that explains
what the query results mean w/o the user having to hit a key to fire a
trigger.
The problem is, the page pops-up on page 1 and not page 2. I even defined
an ON-NEW-FIELD-INSTANCE trigger on page 2's first field that does a
GO_FIELD to the dummy, and the pop-up still appears on the first page.
The SHOW_PAGE packaged procedure doesn't seem to work either and I don't
know why. I put the SHOW_PAGE in the ONFI trigger, but it doesn't seem to
fire or if it does, it displays page 3 underneath page 2!
Any suggestions?
I defined page 3 to have a dummy field that belongs to block 2 along
with the explanatory text on multiple lines next to this dummy field (I
have found that I need a field to navigate to on a page for the page to
pop-up - not all the time though?). I would like this page to pop-up
on a small portion of the page with the query results.
Confused
