Multiple choice

There is a requirement to invoke the Orders form from the Customers form. Which of the following suggestions names a built-in that will meet the requirements and also offers a correct reason?

  1. CALL_FORM because NEW_FORM is no longer valid for Web-deployed forms due to the extra network traffic that is caused.

  2. CALL_FORM because it can be issued in Enter-Query mode and can be constrained to be Query only.

  3. CALL_FORM because the second form is invoked in a modeless state and it saves on memory resources.

  4. NEW_FORM because the second form is invoked in a modeless state and the user can navigate freely between the two running forms.

B Correct answer
Explanation

CALL_FORM is the correct built-in for invoking the Orders form from Customers form because it can be issued while the calling form is in Enter-Query mode, and it can be constrained to query-only mode. This is important when you want to maintain query context in the calling form. CALL_FORM opens the second form in a modal state (not modeless as option C suggests), blocking navigation to the calling form until the called form closes. Option A incorrectly claims NEW_FORM is invalid for web deployment (it works but behaves differently). Option D is incorrect because NEW_FORM replaces the calling form entirely, preventing navigation between both.
