Re: Forms questions

I read in the oracle manuel that to convert from one form ver to a later on, all you need to do it to open it and the newer form will convert the OLDER form, minus the codes of cause - which you have to redo yourself.

I gather that is only applicable to form made my Oracle Form ver 4.5 or later ??

Any comment will be greatly appriciated.
