Re:Web enabled forms

OAS is not needed to run forms on the web.

What is needed is developer server. OAS acts only as the http listener for developer server, so any http daemon will work.

There are issues with running any browser based app.

How will printing work?
ditto for reporting.

Are you converting an existing Forms app?

Things such as DDE will not work then.

Take a look at MetaLink and search for
Developer Server and Reports Server, as there are a number of papers available.

Far too much to go into much detail with in an email.
