Re: deploy forms on web

Here's an excerpt from the documentation:

"When deploying a Forms application on the Web, the icon files in ICO format specified for an iconic button, a menu, or a window) are not used. The only file formats accessible through the Web are GIF or JPG files (GIF is the default format). By default, the icons are found relative to the DocumentBase Directory, which is the directory containing the HTML file. If you want to store your icons in another location, you have to create an application file to specify the virtual directory where the icon files reside and the file format they use (GIF or JPG). This application file must be referenced in the HTML file."

Make sure that the .ico extension is not used in your fmb file. Then the correction extension will be used by the forms server when your form is on the web. Just convert your icon files or get new images and store then in the correct directory and it will work automatically.
