The following are some key points regarding Embedded views and their behavior.

Code

1.) Field values are lost whenever the form is refreshed (clicking the Expand/collapse twisties) unless the fields are pulling values like, using @DbLookup, @DBColumn, @GetProfileField etc and not like @Right(Query_String) etc.

2.) When 'Refresh Fields on Keyword change' property is enabled (ex, for a dialog list field), the URL is appended with a '#_RefreshKW_<fieldname>'. At this point, the Query_String or HTTP_Referer, or javascript document.referrer does not fetches any query string appended after the "#".(For ex, if the URL is http://server/db.nsf/Rep?OpenForm&Seq=1#_RefreshKW_Link&testing, then the query_String, HTTP_Referer, document.referrer returns only 'OpenForm&Seq=1'.

3.) When 'Refresh Fields on Keyword change' property is enabled(ex, for a dialog list field),when the URL is modified by appending a query string along with the '#_RefreshKW_<fieldname>', then the refresh would not be proper.

4.) Embedded views, Embedded selection formula cannot have field name as its value. The formula should be like (where viewname is a field with the view name to be displayed),

@If(Viewfield="view1";"view1";
viewfiel="view2";"view2";
"view3") 

5.) When the form with the embedded view is opened with the ?OpenForm parameter, then view properties like Start/Count etc does not works.(It has to be opened with ?OpenView parameter to use these properties.)
