Brian,

I am also new to thin client deployment. Here is what I did. I used developer to create my .FMB and compiled it and copied my .FMX up to my NT server that is running OWS. I then had to create an HTML file to call it. I will cut and paste at the bottom of this email. Both the FMX and HTML files had to have the same name. The HTML file I placed in ntservername\orantdir\ows\3.0\doc.

My JVM is JInitiator. When my users first loaded the page, JInitiator was loaded at the same time. To be honest, my DBA sent this up. I don't know how big of a mystery it was.

From then on, users would simply point in their browser to my webserver/filename.html and it would run the applet and load the fmx which looked somewhat like my fmb.

Here is my .HTML file....replace your specific server references.... There is two references to your fmx file....(mine is field.fmx, so you can find and replace).

Note, anytime modifications are made to the fmx file, you have to stop/start the ows because it caches and won't load the current app.

good luck.
