Oracle 9i Qs: URL contains extra characters and how to maximize servelet

Q1. Whenever I run my form, it starts MSIE OK, but puts the characters http://%%20" in front of the URL, like this:

http://%%20"http://W18670:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=C:\ANPR\Source_v2\Forms\Frmmain&userid=user/password_at_database&buffer_records=NO&debug_messages=NO&array=YES&query_only=NO&quiet=NO&RENDER=YES"

Every time I run the form, I have to delete these 12 characters from the front of the URL and hit enter and it runs fine. Why? I have checked all the set up options I can find, and I have searched the registry and in every Oracle file on the system for 'http:/' and I can't find it anywhere.

Can anybody suggest some things to try?

Q2. When the Java servelet runs, there is a grey bar across the top of the applet with the Oracle logo on the right hand side. Some of my forms are bigger than the applet window, in which case I get scroll bars. Does anybody know whether I can maximize the applet to take up the full web browser screen? Alternatively, can I run the servlet not using MSIE but just in a window?

I have been trying to find some good books on Forms 9i or information on the net. Can anybody recommend some resources? I have the Oracle Press Oracle 9i Complete Reference, but it only covers SQL and PL/SQL which is not so much use to me. There doesn't seem to be much around eg. on Amazon about Forms 9i.

Thank you very much for any help you can give. Received on Thu Feb 26 2004 - 18:13:34 CET
