Marc,
Recently performed upgrade from Forms 4.5 to 6i (client/server running
on NT). No particular problems upgrading the forms. However would note
that the existing Forms runtime is being replaced by Oracle9iAS
meaning that support for client/server deployment is being dropped by
Oracle (in 2003 or 2006 for extended support I think). All furture
versions will only deploy over internet/intranet with server executing
the forms and sending output to client's browser. Therefore maybe
worthwhile investigating this. (For your info little further changes
are required to forms source code in order to allow execution by new
Forms server software.)
Hope this is of some help.
