Re: Forms 3 Problem - Please Help

The user running the process owns the runform being executed. It's being initiated from that user's home directory, so I don't believe it could be a permissions issue.

It's not often I find myself wishing for a process to dump core. :)

We're on RS/6000 AIX 4.2.1.

Thanks
Peter
