Hi,
I guess what you mean is this, please correct me if I'm wrong: Since ALL Forms 4.5 applications on Windows are MDI apps it cannot be true that MDI is not supported for the Web. But if a Forms module only has ONE window, the app will be converted to an SDI (Single Document Interface) app an hence be supported for the Web. Am I right?
Cheers,
Finn
