Hi All,
I'm new in developing program.
As my company is using Form & Report Builder 6i. I would like to install the same program as practice.Otherwise I can continue my job at home.
But I don't know how to get the software and how to install it.
Can somebody out there help me in to this problem?
Thank you

Oracle software is to be downloaded from the Download section of the Oracle Technology Network site. Here is a direct link to Developer 6i Rel. 2 for MS Windows. If this version isn't the one you are looking for, well, now you know where to search.
How to install it? If I remember correctly, start the Oracle Universal Installer and install Reports first, then Forms (by the way, do you plan to install database as well? If so, install the database first, then Reports, then Forms). Why? Because, if you install Forms first, Reports installation will overwrite Forms configuration files (while, on the other hand, Forms installation does NOT overwrite Reports configuration files).
Once you're done with the job, make sure to use only one copy of TNSNAMES.ORA file in order to prevent possible problems with connection to the database.
