I am currently wotking on an upgrade on one of several Forms Applications at
my company.

The trouble we are having is when users switch between different Forms
Applications.

Each Application is started by a VB module that sets the Registry settings
for LOCAL and FORMS45_PATH

Each application has to have a separate path for its fmxs etc. for reasons I
won't go into right now.

The trouble is when users open more than one Application, the FORMS45_PATH
is set and when they toggle between them, the original App can't find the
fmx's.

I realise I can set a When Window Activate trigger but with 100's of Forms
this is not really practical. I also realise I could set up separte short
cuts for each Application with a differnet 'Start In' directory but this
would mean 9 shorcuts and the users are bound to get confused.

Any Ideas ???

Thanks Guys


Pete
