http://localhost/forms90/f90servlet/forms=test.fmx... not found!

this is the directory where it is looking for your form. im guessing your on windows right? In the registory there is a forms pointer entry that tells oracle where to look for the form. add a semi-colon and point it to the directory where your forms are saved. in 6i its called

forms60path, so I would assume its forms90path in 9i, but i could be wrong. either that or put your .fmx file in the directory that is described above.
that little stuff is really annoying isnt it? Received on Tue Jun 17 2003 - 11:51:11 CDT
