Question : Forms 6i Setup

Hello All,

We are in the process of upgrading from 11.0.3 to 11.5.10 and now need to use Forms 6i instead of 4.5 to edit a couple of forms. In the past, I was able to ftp the fmb file over to my local machine, and place any attached PLL files or FMB files in the orant\FORMS45\PLSQLLIB directory so they were found when the file was opened.

Apparently this is not the case anymore. Can anyone give me a brief explanation of the best way to set this up on 6i, or at least guide me to the proper documentation? I've yet to find anything beneficial.

Sincerely,
XOracle

Answer : Forms 6i Setup

you have to make sure that all files opened with the fmb (pll, mmb) are accessible:

1) copy the files in the same directory as fmb
or
2) set the forms path enviroment before starting forms builder:
SET FORMS60_PATH=C:\my_dir1;c:\my_dir2
or
3) set the registry (HKLM --> Software --> Oracle --> FORMS60_PATH)

also make sure that your attached pll's do not have a hardcoded path!
