Oracle Forms 4 (note name spelling ;-) supports calling DLL's via user exits. Basically, if you have some code, you can link it into a user exit DLL which Forms calls directly. If you have existing DLL's that you want Forms to call (this is a Windows-only artifact), you write a wrapper function in the Forms user exit DLL which calls your DLL (so Forms calls it indirectly).
You can find specific information on how to use DLL's or external libaries on specific platforms in the release notes included on-line with each release on each platform.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
