Hi
After creating web lay out once going to run the report subject error pops up after open the firefox browser
According to suggested solutions for similar issue I checked the following path in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Oracle->Toolkit->TKBrowser
There
Browser Name = Netscape
Browser Path = C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe
In Forms builder I set the default path to the above and it works fine.
What could be the reason

Hi Littlefoot
Quote:
Documentation suggests that you should delete all but "Default" from Windows registry (here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Oracle->Toolkit->TKBrowser). Did you do that, or did you enter Netscape stuff in there?
Here do you mean to delete all parameters in the registry as follows
(Default)-
BrowserName -
BrowserPath -
Please clarify

In my opinion, regarding the Metalin document, you should quit forcing use of Mozilla Firefox as it is not supported.
Furthermore, as I don't use MS Windows Vista, I can't tell how your registry looks like, but this is how it looks like on MS Windows XP, using Oracle Developer Suite 10g:
According to the documentation, it *should* look the same on Vista too (i.e. remove all entries but "Default"). Once again: before deleting anything from registry, backup the registry!

Hi Littlefoot Thax for all suggestions
I set IE as default browser. Now it's working fine.
May be other browsers not compatible
(But in Forms Builder you can set the browser with "Preference" option. But in Report builder I can't find anything like that)
