I am creating a form using Professional Oracle 5.1b and SQL*Forms 2.3.  In
this form I call another, look-up, form using the "callqry" macro.  The
second form is a small box, and I want to overlay it on the main form, like
a "pop-up" window.  However, Forms seems to only want to replace the main
screen with a screen which is mostly blank except for the small box.  Is
there a way to overlay the smaller form on the main form and then remove it
and recover the portion of the main form covered by the overlay?
I can't seem to find this information in the manuals.
Thanks for any assistance.
