        Hi,

                I'm migrating from SQL*Menu 5.0 to SQL*Forms 4.5.

 Oracle supplies information relating to coverting the SQL*Menu to a 4.5 form
(fmb or mmb formats) and attaching it as a menu to a dummy form. This all works but I've found that within menus command lines reading "runform xxxx" now should be changed to call_form('xxxx'). Oracle support suggested that those migrating Oracle applications are better off using a 3rd party package for conversions. My questions:-

(1) Is a 3rd party package required for conversions from

             SQL*Menu 5.x to forms 4.5 or can Oracle handle this on its own?

(2) If a package is required which one can be recommended?

(3) Are there FAQs relating to this area available?

                Many thanks,

                                Michael.
