I have a master-detail form. There are several "detail" blocks, each of which is displayed in a separate tab. The problem I'm facing is that when I query something in the master block, the detail block on the same canvas remains blank. It shows the fetched data only when one of the fields in it is clicked or if I click on another tab, and navigate back to the first page again. This is true for all the tabs. There is no error in fetching the data, its just something to do with the display. (possibly keyexe-trigger?)
I'm not able to figure out where to look for the cause of the problem. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Littlefoot,
I have created my master-detail in designer and it was working perfectly when all the detail blocks were on the same canvas as the master. Due to the clutter of information, I separated each detail block on a separate tab. I didn't "mess up" anything. All the data is fetched perfectly...there's just a problem with the display.
Turns out it is an issue with Designer and that's how tabs work when created in Designer. I've resolved my problem by writing explicit logic for navigating to each detail block and executing query there.

Littlefoot,
I did change the layout, but by merely changing display and placement properties on the detail blocks. I haven't touched any logic and there is no reason for it to behave strange! I did some asking around and people told me that when you create tabs in Designer, the default behavior is that data doesn't appear in detail tab right away..you need to click in there or need to move to another tab and come back.
Cookiemonster,
The relationship between the blocks is basically master-detail...1 master and about 5 detail blocks on separate tabs. I'm sorry to ask a silly question, but where exactly do you look for "coordination properties"?

If the only problem you have is that the tabs are not being populated, consider creating a trigger that goes to each subordinate tab and then comes back to the current block. This would probably be the 'when-new-record' trigger of your master block.
