Re: multiple runtime versions

Bob,
[Quoted] Under what platform is this? I've done it under Linux and AIX w/o any problems; just run the "oraenv" shell script to specify the instance (SID) you [Quoted] want. If you are working under Micro$oft Windows then I would expect that some [Quoted] simple tweaking of registry entries will do what you need. I have gotten SQL [Quoted] Plus 3.3 and 8.0, and reports 2.5 and 3.0 to co-exist under Windows, but I still do my forms development in 4.5 so I can't comment specifically to Forms [Quoted] 5.0 vs. Forms 4.5. I suspect that the registry keys: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\FORMS45 and \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\FORMS45_PATH have a 50 version, and if they [Quoted] is set to point to the right place you will be fine. You might also need to [Quoted] change the shortcut icon...

Unix is sooo much simpler...

John.
