Hi. Forms 6i is the only thing I've ever known and now I'm tasked with migrating on of our 6i forms to 10g.
Using the Migration Assistant I migrated the application and created the new .FMB and have placed it in a new directory. I also used the Migration Assistant and migrated the menu (MenuDef) named on the Form-level Property Sheet. So both the files now exist in the same directory.
Then I opened both the FMB and the MMB and recompiled them. So the FMX and the MMX are in the same directory. I then open Forms Builder (10G) and attempt to run the form. As the form begins to open I receive the error FRM-10221: Cannot read file Menudef.
I also noticed that none of my icons are appearing on the canvas at the time the application begins to open. I have moved all my .ico file to the same location as the .FMX and .MMX hoping that would solve it, but no luck.
I'd appreciate any help with these two issues. Thanks.

I've migrated a 6i form to 10g, but have noticed that my form's icons (.ico) are missing. After some investigation I've read that you must create .gif or .jpg versions of the .ico files that Form Builder will use at runtime.
So while developing I see my icons just fine, but when running the application my icons disappear from the buttons - even with a .gif and .jpg version of the .ico file in the same directory.
Then I read I need to move all my icon files to the directory specified in the registry variable UI_ICON. I've done this as well, but still my icons disappear when I run the application from Form Builder.
Any suggestion for a fix? I'd sure appreciate the help.

Problem solved.
For ICONS I needed to setup a Virtual Path in the Orion-web.xml directory located in c:\devsuitehome_1\j2ee\devsuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb. The Virtual Path looks like this:
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="c:\ttmsapps\web_compiled" />
The I edited c:\devsuitehome_1\forms\server\forms.conf to define a virtual path alias like so:
# Virtual path for icons
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "c:\ttmsapps\web_compiled"
I also edited c:\devsuitehome_1\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry\registry.dat. Here I changed the default.icons.iconpath variable to be this:
default.icons.iconpath=http://ssbuechl2.div16.ibm.com:8889/forms/icons
And to address the issue of not finding the MenuDef MENU I edited the c:\devsuithome_1\forms\server\default.env file and specified the Forms_Path variable to be:
FORMS_PATH=C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms;c:\ttmsapps\web_compiled
So far so good. I hope this helps others who are having similar issues. Thanks.
