To compile a PLL into a PLX, you must use F45GEN, it cannot be done direct from the designer at the current release. You must specify an output file (no need to specify the PLX extension, this will be defaulted), and check the box 'Strip PL/SQL source from library'. The output file should have the same name (before the extension) as the PLL.

The PLX will automatically be linked. When you run a form with a library attachment, first it looks for a PLX file of that name, then only looks for the PLL if it cannot find a PLX. However, if you have a PATH with multiple directories, it will use a PLL from the 1st directory in preference to a PLX from the 2nd.
