- I am new to Oracle and I am working in an application that requires 3
- seperate screens that are related to each other only in the sense that
- they are part of an all encompassing application. There are no data
- relationships between them. I am not sure if I should create 3 seperate
- forms or 1 form with seperate pages. Note that each screen has a master
- detail relationship. I have set something up that uses just 1 form with
- each logical screen on a different page. Then I will set up a menu to call
- specific pages.
-
- Am I doi ng this the best way? Would it be better to make seperate forms?
- I do NOT want to have to exit all the way back to the OS and then call runforms
- again just to switch to another screen. What I am worried about are potential
- problems that I might run into and have to program around by putting each
- screen on a different page of the same form.
-
- Any help?
