Re: Using Open_Form w/o full path

I figured it out. I was using the correct syntax. The problem was in the path that Oracle was looking at. I right clicked on the shortcut to forms developer (I was using it both to design and run the forms). I selected properties. In the "start in:" field, i typed the path that contains the .fmx files. It worked fine after that.

Thanks for the help :-)
