Hi,
I have developed an application using forms 6i which is used by multiple clients. To run application at the client end I have to install oracle forms developer at the each client.
I want to know a few things.
1) Can I run my application without installing the whole forms developer on each client?
2) Can I add entry of my database in tnsnames.ora file through my application, by writing appropriate code with in my application?
Kindly guide me..

You might be able to update the 'tnsnames.ora' file by using 'utl_file' or 'text_io' but it would be more typical to have a windows batch script that did the installation of the Forms Runtime and then replaced the newly create 'tnsnames.ora' file with a 'common' version.
Are you implying that some of your users already have a 'tnsnames.ora' file on their PC and you need to add the reference to a new database to it?
