Hi All

I Am New To Forms . when ever i run my form  i have to connect to data base sepecifying user name,password and host string.now at form level i have written a form level trigger(on logon)and mentioned it null;

so now my form is not connecting to data base.now i have created a form giving username,password,hoststring as item types in my form. so when ever i run i want my form to be opend and thro that i want to connect to data base.

so how to give that connection?

 

thanks in advance

You are using Client-Server I guess(?)

You should be able to specifiy a connect string as part of the your on-login trigger as you would from SQL i guess..... try.. conn scott/tiger@oradb

there are other alternatives like ops$ accounts, that use the actual operating system account but this takes a little setting up.

in Web Forms you can set up config files to handle different connections per config setting, and even single sign on (with more tweaking!)

hope this helps...
