Problems using CLOSE_FORM - Help please 1

[iainmc]

This seems like such a basic problem but i have come across some real problems.

I have a form, 'A', and a menu which has links to forms 'A' and 'B'. If i am on form 'A' and the user selcts form 'B' from the menu I want to open form 'B' and close form 'A' and vice versa. As things stand both forms stay open even though I issue CLOSE_FORM commands on the PL/SQL for the relevent menu items.

The online help has said that if I call form 'B' from 'A' then I can't close 'A' from 'B' is this what is happening even though it is the Menu calling form 'B and not form 'A'.

Hope someone can (a understand my blurb and (b shine a little light on my situation.

Thanks

What command are you using to call the forms?

 

[iainmc]

My PL/SQL on the menu is like this:

CALL_FORM('A');
CLOSE_FORM('B');

Use NEW_FORM instead of CALL_FORM. You wont need to issue the CLOSE_FORM.
