Thx a lot, guys. I'm able to download ODS on my window now & going to install it soon. I'm running 10g on a solaris 10 server, btw. I don't have a lot of experience on form & reports. Just play around w/ 'em in class & they seem to be fairly easy & straight forward, but I can't be sure. Therefore I'm trying to install ODS on my laptop so that I can connect to my DB from anywhere & work w/ the form.

So, if my DB is on a solaris server & ODS is on my laptop, is there a configuration file or I have to do something in order to connect ODS to DB? Any ideas?

Thanks,
