sorry for being technically flippant. i meant to say i was under the impression Forms4.5 would generate more network traffic than Forms3.

thats a rash assumption :)
we are looking to convert Forms3 to Forms.5 then re-eng into Des2000, then take it from there - generate 4.5 or html maybe we are going to have to do a lot of manual ratification as the Forms3 are not the 'traditional' design. They were written by Oracle newbies, Like a lot of blocks are not based on tables, so the conversion and rev-eng is going to miss a lot of stuff, but it will gives us a starting point.
