Maybe this will help you - Note:209891.1 from MetaLink:
fact: SQL*Forms 6.0.8
symptom: OPEN_FORM does not Work the First Time for a Third Form Called
symptom: Called form opens but its window is not activated
symptom: ACTIVATE parameter is used in OPEN_FORM calls
symptom: Caller forms are MINIMIZED previous to performing OPEN_FORM
symptom: Second call to the trigger that makes the OPEN_FORM does activate the called form
change: NOTE ROLE:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
FORM1 button1:
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW', window_state, MINIMIZE);
open_form('FORM2',ACTIVATE,SESSION);
FORM2 button2:
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW', window_state, MINIMIZE);
open_form('FORM3',ACTIVATE,SESSION);
Run FORM1, press button1 -> gets to FORM2
press button2 -> Still is in FORM2
press button2 again -> now gets to FORM3;
cause: Bug 1055433: OPEN_FORM('FORM',ACTIVATE,SESSION) DOESN'T GET ACTIVATED WHEN FORMER FORM MINIMIZED.
fix:
WORKAROUNDS:
1.- Do not MINIMIZE the window in initial form (FORM1 in e.g)
or
2.- Do not use the ACTIVATE parameter
