We use a method wherby we only actually ever have one Oracle home in the registry at any one time but SAVE both Oracle branches of the registry as .REG files. To do this open your registry , navigate down to the brach where [Quoted] your Oracle home is and use the export registry menu command (using brach only). Then you can re-install Forms 6 components (which will update the registry) and save that exactly the same way. You'll have now 2 Forms registry files. To use 2.1 simply double click on the 2.1 reg file which will [Quoted] overwtrite whats in the registry and do the same with the 6 reg file if yo want to use that. get both .REG files backed up on diskette ASAP as well !

hope this may be usful
