As an addendum to this, you might reconsider a decision to save Forms to the database. While there are some intrguing possibilities (and with Forms version 2 and 2.3 it was the preferred way to do things), Oracle is now shying away from this and encouraging people to regard their local and network file systems as the best way to handle Forms. The reason is three fold: 1) performance (in order to save to the database, Oracle has to break the form up into components which are saved to a set of tables and reassemble these components when a user requests the form), 2) version problems, and 3) bugs.
