  Review Window Settings: Ensure that the secondary window is configured correctly. You can check the properties of the secondary window in the Smart Forms editor to ensure it is set up for the intended use.
  
  
  Use Text Elements: If you need to display additional information, consider using text elements or other structures that do not require a new page.
