Re: Forms version compatibility question

My gut tells me that you MUST switch back, in to achieve compatability.

Forms 5.0 supports PL/SQL v2.3 (or something like that) 4.5 and prior versions only supported PL/SQL v1.1.

Opening an 4.5 FMB in 5.0 a converts the Trigger and SQLcode. I believe this process is strictly one way.

forms 5.0 which will allow you to select forms 5.0 or 4.5.  

I have no idea what this property does -- maybe you will have success
with it.



I don't know what this property
