I've asked Oracle about this in the past, and they've told me it's not
possible (this was under forms 2.3/Oracle 5). For security reasons, it
shouldn't be possible anyway, otherwise anybody could write a form to
extract usernames & passwords.
Have you considered converting the program to a user exit? That way,
you don't need to log in again -- you have the same database login
as is used by forms.
