Question

Can you programatically detect that a form has been called by another form using Open_Form?
When closing a form I want to do one thing if it was opened stand-alone and another thing if it was called using Open_Form by another form.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe, Tony, also
GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY built-in ; it can
be used to retrieve information about the calling (parent) and called
form (child).
The following example describes a way to perform a query on the child form
using a value from the parent form; if the form is a child form, it first
executes a query, otherwise the form goes into insert mode automatically.
          WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
          ======================
          BEGIN
               :GLOBAL.APP_NAME := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CALLING_FORM);
               IF :GLOBAL.APP_NAME IS NOT NULL THEN
                    EXECUTE_QUERY;
               END IF;
          END;Regards
