Re: How to pass parameter to a default logon screen

Hi Damon.

I don't think you can fix the database instance.

Your options are:
1. Pre-set the default database. This is defined on a Win95 client by LOCAL (in regedit). Users then won't need to type a database instance if they only want the default, although they can still make a mess of it if they try.
2. Code your own Login Window. Add a form-level On-Logon that calls your own popup window to control the login process. Have a look at online help for Logon.
3. Perhaps some-one can tell you whether an upgrade to Forms 5.0 provides this functionality.

You could also try PowerSearch on http://www.dejanews.com/, or use the front-end supplied by http://hayden.home.mindspring.com/support.htm

Neville Sweet.
