Hello,

Below I've inserted a part of the PO7W95 READ.ME-file. It explains the extra steps you must take in order to connect Forms45 to PO7W95.

Hope it helps.

Greetings,

1.2 - CONNECTING 16-BIT APPLICATIONS 1.2.1 Using Loopback to connect from 16-bit applications to the local Personal Oracle7 for Windows 95 database is not a supported function. Only local connections may be made from 16-bit applications.

1.2.2 16-bit Windows applications require updated Oracle Required Support Files (RSF) to connect to Personal Oracle7 for Windows 95. This update is necessary even if these applications are able to connect to Personal Oracle7 for Windows 3.1.  

16-bit Windows applications previously required "2:" as the database name when connecting to Personal Oracle7 products. The update provided changes this behavior such that applications based on ORA71WIN.DLL or ORA72WIN.DLL do not have to specify "2:" (it is now the default). Applications based on ORA7WIN.DLL do not change in this manner and have to specify 2: as the database name.  

Provided with Personal Oracle7 for Windows 95 is a separate installation which detects currently installed RSFs and installs new ones. Run SETUP.EXE located in the \WINDOWS directory of your release media. Received on Sat Nov 09 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
