We are working in Oracle8i at present and upgrading our system to 10g. Our programs(fmx,library etc) has been mapped to a named drive and clients has access to that drive. This is working fine in 8i environment. But in 10g , the same method is not working properly. The programs runs fine from our development machines (i.e. with ids platform). While we try to run the program on the application server, it displays error message "FRM-40010:Unable to read <program file name >". If I change the path to the original drive (instead of the mapped drive) it runs on the application server.
Example:
Programs exist in D drive of the application server.
The required folder (in D) has been shared to use by the clients and mapped to drive Z on the application server and also at the development machines. Z drive is accessible to all the clients,development machines & the application server itself.
Thanks & regards

Would you please tell me the name of the parameter where I can define the absolute address in 'formsweb.cfg'. I tried the parameter 'workingdirectory', but didn't get any result.
Thank You.

I recommend NOT setting the 'path' variables in 'default.env'. There is also little or no point in specifying the path in the 'http' call, just get it right in the 'formsweb.cfg'.
Lose the quotes in the 'forms_path' of the 'formsweb.cfg'. You would only needs them if you had a space in the directory name and we know that spaces in directory names are not supported by Oracle Forms anyway. I can't remember whether you need the '\' or not, but you will only need to try two options to see whether it will work.
So, undo your change to 'default.env', change your 'http' call, and then remove the 'quotes' and '\' in 'formsweb.cfg'. Stop and start the forms server, and then test. If it fails, add the '\' back to 'formsweb.cfg'. Stop and start the server and test again. One of these two will work.
