[Quoted] I'm a co-op student trying to build a small application and learning as I go. I would like to be able to have a push button on a form that when triggered will run an Oracle report. I have read a couple of books, done searches on the web and have not been able to find anything. Someone suggested that I would have to send a Unix command calling the report from the program unit that the button triggers. I don't know Unix, so I'm still lost. I would also like to be able to submit run-time parameters to the report. I believe the best way to do this would be to have another form activated when the report button is pushed and have the user input the info in text fields that can be captured as variables and used in the call to the report.

Can anyone tell me how to do this or point me in the direction of a good resource to help me?
