This sounds like what I would like to do, but we have 8.1.5. The forms that are on the client machines now were developed with Forms and Reports 4.5, or Developer/2000. I would like to have information on how to go about setting this up, but I haven't found anything like what you describe at OTN. We have been in the process of upgrading our forms and reports to version 6 (not 6i) in anticipation of going web-based, but we can't get the funding for that. That's why we wanted to see about another way to keep everything on a local server (to us, the developers) with the clients only having a link to the executable, runtimes, whatever. Do you know of a place where I can research how to do what you describe? I apparently can't find the right combination of search terms for either google or OTN.

Thanks!

(and an aside to the administrator of this list, I have noticed that any time I send email to the list my email seems to trigger out of office replies, where no-one else's emails do that. Any idea why? Apologies for that...)
