Hello.

   I've not seen any message floating around our email system from you, who did you email it to? Can you explain in a little more detail what your problem is? (Perferably in news...) Unsuccessful is a little vague of a description. Forgive me if you posted the problem in news already, but I couldn't locate your posting on our news server any longer.

For the network and the curious.... The upgrade from 3.0 to 4.5 directly is supported. The Oracle Worldwide Bug Tracking database is a Forms 3.0 application which is upgraded every night in our regression tests, and we run it (in character mode on unix) using 4.5 (and have been doing so for over a year). The bug database application is quite complex (30 or so forms) and uses nearly all the features of forms 3.0 including stored procedure support in oracle 7.0.
