Well, don't supply username and password; let user enter his/her credentials.

However, if all your users use the same username/password, you could specify this information in the FORMSWEB.CFG file; for example:

[my_application]
userid=scott/tiger@orcl

Or, you might research use of Single Sign On (SSO)

Hello
i 'm using oracle 9i developer suite, I am working with forms when I run a form at runtime it displays this kind of information

http://usman.educators.edu.pk:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=C:\oraprojects\DoubleEntryApp\Register.fmx&userid=SCOTT/TIGER@ali& buffer_records=NO&debug_messages=NO&array=YES&query_only=NO&quiet=NO&RENDER=YES

I want ask a question that how can i remove this information and just see the following url

http://usman.educators.edu.pk:8888/forms90/f90servlet?

because it would make my application secure

THANKS

I recommand doing exactly what Little told you. Using Config file will solve your problem, you can set the value in this file instead of setting it in URL.

Here is what my URL look like

http://infoas.optimumgroup.com:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=ogidev_f

and here is some setting you can set in the config file

    [ogidev_f]
    envfile=OGIDEV_F.env
    separateFrame=True
    form=sag00m01.fmx
    userid=user/pass@db
    otherparams=p_code_lang_ora=F
    logo=no
    width=800
    height=600

hope it help
