[Quoted]  I also found some major bugs in Forms 5. The designer and the runtime crashes often under Win95 but under WinNT 4 it doesnt. I don't know why but in our company we use only NT 4. There is another bug in Reports. Sometimes we get the message 'REP-0001: unable to retrieve a string from the reports message builder'
and the report (called with RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, ...)) doesnt run. When I recompile this report on the client the error is gone.
Has amoebody had the smae problem or is there a workaround?
