Re: creating an fmx from an fmb in Oracle forms 4.5

Hello,

with FILE/ADMINISTRATION you can select "Compile File" then the executable will be made.

I am not sure if the names where correct, because i have the german version of the DEVELOPER. The other method is press "CTRL-T"..

Hope it is what you want.

It's enough to compile only the one form of a projekt. The others must not be opened.
