We are using Oracle forms 10g for one of our Web based Application. There are cases were in we need to copy the content of the form and paste it on a notepad or word document to be sent via email to required users. But oracle forms launched on the browser does not allow you to select the entire content of the form using mouse. We would like to know if there are any tool which would assist us in accomplishing our motive. If not, is there any higher version or a patch release which allows copy paste within Oracle forms.

As far as I can tell, a screenshot is all you can get easily. But that's a picture, so your users won't be able to edit it.

Another option requires you to create a report that would display exactly the same data as a form. If form contents is result of a query, then it might be relatively easy to pass the last query from a form to a report (so that both of them would display the same information). You'd do that by GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY built-in and its LAST_QUERY property.

Hi,

Is there any higher version of Oracle forms which would allow user to select the entire form content and copy paste into a word/text file.
