This works on Win 95.

On icon, properties, shortcut tab inthe target box do something along the lines of

<path to forms runtime> module=<main form name without exetension> userid=<name>/<password>@<instance>

i.e.

C:\ORAWIN95\BIN\F45RUN32.EXE module=main userid=name/pass_at_ora1

plus, make sure the start in box contains the path to your main form.
