Kevin,
I had sent a message to f45devsup. The following is the problem I am
having.
I am being given the info that a user can not convert from forms3.0 to
forms4.5. According to the instructions (help), and the book you can.
When I tried to convert I kept getting the error FRM-30201 an error
occured durning form upgrade. The next alert box states that the form
was not converted. That was all the errors and alerts. This was a
pretty vague message and when I looked up the error it stated the cause
as 'an error occured durning the 3.0 to 4.5 conversion'. Then it
refered me to the DBA or ORACLE people. (I am the DBA, and I don't know
how that explaination helps me). I put a message out on the BBS and
was given the answer that I must convert to forms4.0 first!! Is the
possible??? I am sure it is not and that there must be another
solution, for why would I have to buy forms4.0 just to convert to
forms4.5??? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
