Re: Tool to analyse Forms 4.5 Apps

Randy,

You could try reverse engineering the whole aplication into Oracle Designer V1.3.2 or V2.1 (where it is called capture, not reverse engineering). That would give you the whole database structure including any constraints (primary, foreign, unique keys and business constraints) set up against the various tables / views, and for the forms, it would document the usages of those tables / views (update/insert/delete etc)

I don't think you'll be lucky enough to get the forms called network out of the capture, but this would provide an excellent starting point for understanding your new application.
