Re: How to create a PDF report from the server

Thank you!

[Quoted] Actually, it's my problem is more an install problem. I can install Developer 6i with Forms Server and Report Server, I can install Oracle AS 9i, but I can't make the connection between the Forms server (and Report Server) and the Web server.

The test.fmx example is

http://192.168.1.10:7777/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe?form=test.fmx&userid=scott/tig er_at_orcl&otherparams=useSDI=yes&lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal

[Quoted] But dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe doesn't exist in the Oracle AS directory.

How can I install and set up the Web server to run the ifcgi60 correctly ? What module do I have to install ?

I use Windows XP as a server and client.

Thanks for you help,
Denis
