Hi Archana,
There are many ways to pass values between forms.
1. You define a global variable before issuing a call/open/new form and use the value in the called/opened form.
2. Create a database package spec and define variables there. Use them to set values and read from other forms.
3. Create a parameter list and pass the list to the call/open/new form built-in and read from there.
If you explain your usecase more, we can suggest you a good way to implement it.

Error opening new form via Call_form

I wrote a forms that captures error code from the calling forms and shows message_text, cause and action for that error.
When calling form causes a ORA-00054 error (lock record), I cannot call the form that displays because focus is not passed to called form.
What can I do? I need to call this form to show message_text, cause and action.

How to open new form with set value

I have two forms CLIENT and ORDERS who are connected by "client_id" in a one to many relationship [one client can have many orders]. What code to I put in the button so that that when I click on it from the CLIENT table, it goes to the ORDERS form with just the orders that match that "client_id"? The application is in oracle 9i developer using swing.
Here's what I have so far, code to open the form without the binding
//Open Order Form
FormIcdClientApplicationView frameTarget = new FormOrderApplicationView(getPanelBinding());
frameTarget.setVisible(true);
// Close this window
this.setVisible(false);

     public UserLogin() {
          form = new Form("Sign in");
          userName = new TextField("LoginID:", "", 30, TextField.ANY);
          password = new TextField("Password:", "", 30, TextField.PASSWORD);
          cancel = new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 2);
          login = new Command("Login", Command.OK, 2);

               validateUser(userName.getString(), password.getString());
}

Hello,
First of all thanks for the reply. Is there any IDE to write the midlet application which like highlights the keywords and shows format etc. I am using wordpad and Sun's WTK, as I am new to midlet development its a bit hard to find the mistakes using those.
Once again, If in a form I want to generate variable number of textboxes based on a database reply How should I do it, I did the following but it didnt work. It didn't also added the command buttons to the new screen. I bolded the part didnt work in my code.
public void showMsg() {
          Alert success = new Alert("Login Successfully", "Your Login Process is completed!", img2, AlertType.INFO);
          success.setImage(img2);
          addCform = new Form("Add Concern");
          userName.setString("");
          password.setString("");
          display.setCurrent(success, addCform);
          title = new TextField("Title:", "", 10, TextField.ANY);
          desc = new TextField("Description:", "", 30, TextField.ANY);
          addCform.append(title);
          addCform.append(desc);
          *cancelC = new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 2);*
*          save = new Command("Save", Command.OK, 2);*
*          form.addCommand(cancelC);*
*          form.addCommand(save);*
          *for(int i=0;i<5;i++)*
*               txtbox= new TextField("Text","",10,TextField.ANY);*
*               addCform.append(txtbox[i]);*

Getting FRM-40010 Error While opening new form .fmx

Hi,
Oracle apps : 11.5.10.2

Do I need to modify forms60_path ?
Do I need to register this form before running as it's using table from Oracle apps schema?
Thanks,
Kiran

        dialog.setSize(400,300);
        dialog.setLocation(425,200);
        JButton buttonQuestion = new JButton( "Question" );

New form opens up in back of Menu Form in Web Deployed Form

Hi,
I am having trouble with my web-deployed form. I have one form that has toolbars and after selecting from the menu for another form to open up, the new form opens up in back of the previous form and I'd have to minimize the previous form in order for new form to be active. Is there any way that I can have the new form open up above the previous form? Also, do you know any good sites where I can get tips on web-deployed forms.
Thanks,
Kristine

Kristine,
what code are you using to open new forms (call_form, open_form, new_form).
I have a similar application (custom login module and custom menu), and I run my modules from the menu using
call_form(<module_name>,HIDE,DO_REPLACE);
This hides the custom login module and displays the called module.
Hope this helps

Opening a new form from a button places it behind the calling form.

From the sales order form clicking a schedule button opens up a new non modal window . On this window I need to add a new button to open a new form(SOO.fmb) .
I tried using the FND_FORM.EXECUTE function, the new form opens but it is positioned behind the sales order form. I tried using call_form , even this positions the new form behind the sales order form.
How do I open the new form as the active form ?
thanks

Please clarify what you are talking about. Is this an Oracle Applications (i.e. E-Business) form or is this a form/application you created? What product versions are you using? Do not provide product names like 10g, 11g, etc. Please provide product versions.
That said, if you are opening new form or browsers using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT, there is a known Sun bug which causes this problem when using the Sun JRE 1.6.0_xx. This issue can be worked around by disabling the JRE setting "Enable the next generation Java Plugin...". This setting is found on the Advanced tab of the JRE Control Panel under "Java Plugin". This bug is expected to be fixed in Sun 1.6.0_18. This version is not available to the public at this time.

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

Opening a form in a new window issue

Hi..
I have this requirement where I have this page(say XYZPG.xml) which contains a table which is auto populated based on a particular setWhereClause and all this happens in the processRequest as the page loads.
This page opens on clicking a button in a previous page from where all the parameters for the setWhereClause is sent using fireAction.
Each Row in the results table in XYZPG has a "detail" button which opens another page in a new window using _blank in the Target Frame.
The issue is that when Iam clicking the "detail" button,the new form opens in the new window and after closing the form that opened in the new window when I start to perform any action in XYZPG a null pointer is encountered in the processRequest while trying to fetch the setWhereClause parameters.
Please help in this issue.Its urgent.
Thanks

That's because when you close the child window, control returns back to parent form's processRequest. Which version of EBS you are working on? OAF has in-built popup windows feature supported on latest EBS versions which is very useful on many occasions as it has good features like popup closing automatically when a submit button is clicked etc. Check JDev user guide and see if you can use popup windows for your project. If not, you have to capture the event in processRequest and perform required actions again.
Thanks

2010 Review Approval Workflow Error - Outlook cannot open a new form

Hi,
I set up an Approval - SharePoint workflow on a document library list in a webpart. When the approver got the email and tried to approve from outlook, she received the following error. She has approved documets in the past for the same page.
Can anyome please help me troubleshoot this? So much appreciated!
Word Error:
Could not open. http://<site ulr> _layouts/formsResource.aspx?templateFile=http://<site url_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 2010/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn
Outlook Error:
Outlook cannot open a new form. To open the file, access to the folliwng form template is required
http://<site ulr> _layouts/formsResource.aspx?templateFile=http://<site url_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 201o/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn

can she open the approval form in web browser instead of Outlook?
According to the error message, it seems that the user does not have permission for the file http://<site url/_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 201o/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn.
can she open see this file in SharePoint designer 2010? that is, open the site with SharePoint designer and navigate to All Files->_catalogs->wfpub->Approval - SharePoint 201o. If she can not see the file there, ask the workflow creator to publish
the workflow again. I had experienced strange issue in SharePoint designer 2007 and solved by check out all the workflow files and check in again

Opening a new form using a different connect string

Hi All
I have the following requirement. I want to open an new form (when button pressed) using a different connect string. I am planning to use open form so that the new form has its own session. But I donot want the new form to connect to the same database. How do I pass the database that I want to connect using open form.
Rgds
Arvind Balaraman

The only way to change the connection is to execute the built-in LOGIN and connect to the desired database. You cannot pass this through the OPEN_FORM built-in.
Example:
LOGOUT;
LOGON(uname, upass || '@' || conn_str);
However, be aware that this will impact the first form too. This is expected behavior.
See Oracle Bug 5004661 or the Forms Online Help for more details.
