Hi,

I have 2 Oracle Forms problems:

  1. I would like to start a different form via

new_form('c:\vis60\eur\vis00000', TO_SAVEPOINT, NO_QUERY_ONLY, no_share_library_data);

The problem is, I want to change the current working directory to c:\vis60\eur before running the form, so that menue files etc. are taken from this directory by default. How can I accomplish this?

[Quoted] 2. I would like to start an external application and exit the current form:

[Quoted] host('C:\Programme\bo5\BusinessObjects 5.0\BUSOBJ.EXE -user ' || the_username || ' -pass ' || the_username);
exit_form;

[Quoted] The problem is, that exit_form is executed after I quit the program BUSOBJ.EXE. But I want the form to exit immediately after having started the [Quoted] program. Is this possible? I have tried to do it via a timer trigger, but without success.

Thank you very much for any hint, comment,.... Peter Received on Thu Aug 29 2002 - 11:00:56 CEST
