Hi!

Oracle have said that there is problem with Y2000 with v6 of the RDBMS. Also if you are using Forms 3.0 then you have some modifications to make. There Applications are supposed to to be fully compliant starting with Release 10.7 which will only run on RDBMS v7.3+

Oracle is in the business to make money for itself much the same as IBM. It all depends on who wrote the Apps and with which tools. I think your test approach is very good. Just have another instance and try it out.
