OK. Let's get one thing clear...

Neither IE 4.0 or NS 4.0.4 is certified with Web Forms. Moreover, based on our testing, anyone who tries to use them is looking at a world of trouble. Use the applet viewer.

I keep hearing this claim.

It is incorrect.

We have it from the horse's mouth (Dev2K development) that 3.0 is supported.

I also strongly urge you to move to Dev2K 1.6. Even the prerelease version is a major step forward in quality, functionality, and performance. Also, the 1.6 applet viewer can launch a web browser to view a report. Oracle is being very open with the Dev2K 1.6 beta program.
