No. Well probably but not by any means worth implementing. Maybe if you wrote some low-level C program or something.

You need to do a number of things. The first of which is to forget Forms 3.0. The last time I saw 3.0 was more than a decade ago. And why Forms 6? Why move to another obsolete product? You should go to 6i (I would recommend against 9i at this point for your organization) and have someone that is an expert both rewrite the system and train your people on how to do 6i and 9i development. If you want the names of competent professionals that can do this send me an off-line email.
