Re: D2kwutil and 'host' problems in Forms 4.5

Well, the host problem seems to have stemmed from an extra command.com file in the root directory - a left-over from the client machine was running DOS 6.22. Removing the file got rid of the error and printing continues.

[Quoted] [Quoted] As for the win_api, this has now changed error to ORA-1000010 and ORA-10000002 which appear to be Oracle internal errors... I'll see how I get on with Oracle support.
