Yes, I'm doing it now. You use the ORA_FFI package to define/register the
functions in the DLL that you're going to use. In my case, I'm using it to
invoke functions in a DLL that can copy files and set file attributes. I
initially used the "host" command, but I didn't like the way it blanked-out
the screen.

I followed the online documentation in the "Forms Advanced Techniques" doc.
Email me if you want more details.
