Greetings to all,

I used Open_Form to open the form in my 'Menu.mmb'.
My Question is:
How we control the opening of a form from multiple times?
Ex:
In my menu.mmb I used OPEN_FORM.If we open the form,which was already opened ,I want to stop the form to open. How to do this?

I used find_form and id_null Built-ins but no joy.

Thanks,
Bhujendra

Find_Form and id_null should have solved your problem. What version of Forms are you using? Please post your code.

David,

I am using forms6i and my code is
DECLARE 
      rg_name VARCHAR2(40) := 'C:\INH\EMPDETAILS1.fmx';
  BEGIN 
      If ID_NULL(FIND_FORM(rg_name)) 
       Then
         OPEN_FORM(rg_name);
      Else
         GO_FORM(rg_name);
      End If; 
  END;

If any thing need to be changes please advice me


Thanks,
Bhujendra

If you google 'go_form' you will find entries like http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Oracle/Q_20171540.html

What they say is that 'find_form' looks in the file system, but the 'go_form' looks in the list of running code.

Either use the 'find_form' id for both calls, or use the module name ('EMPDETAILS1' - no directory path or 'fmx' extension) for both calls, or a mix but making sure that the 'go_form' only contains the module name.
