Forms 6 is client/server; which means every client PC needs Forms 6 runtime installed on every client PC. AFAIK, Forms 6 is no longer supported.

Assuming you can/do decide to deploy Forms 6, the actual Forms & Report runtime files can reside on a shared network drive that can be accessed by all the client PCs. Received on Tue Mar 22 2005 - 16:47:18 CET
