Re: Oracle 8.1.6 Alter User command fails with VERIFY_FUNCTION

I believe that there was an article in Oracle Magazine or something on this particular problem. According to the tip, one needs to create a public synonym for the verification function. I'd like to get this to work as well since I can't use the OCI call or the SQL*Plus password command in Oracle Forms.

Thanks,
Brian
