Re: Running forms 6i on client

[Quoted] Hello Joost,

Let's assume that the network drive that the users have access to is S:

[Quoted] then here's how we have done it:

1. all off the necessary Oracle dll's exe's etc. are on S:\ORA60NT\FORMS60
2. all of the generated fmx's, mmx's, pl/sql('private') libs etc. are on S:\lib\BIN;S:\fmx\BIN;
3. users start the application (a bat file or script if you like) - through [Quoted] a desktop link - which contains: 3.1 set environment variables (basically what's in the oracle patch in registry) like SET FORMS60=S:\ORA60NT\FORMS60 SET FORMS60_PATH=S:\lib\BIN;S:\fmx\BIN; SET REPORTS60_TMP=%TEMP% ...

  3.2 S:\Ora60NT\BIN\ifrun60.EXE S:\lib\BIN\startform.FMX /_at_whatever

If someone has a better and/or more elegant solution, I will be more than happy to hear about it.

Regards, Keld
