Dear friends,

I am Rajamohankumar,new to this forum.This is the only site where people can share lot about oracle & forms.So I feel happy to join with you all.I am using oracle 9i release 2 and forms 6i.I have a question,I have stored all the fmx files under one folder in a single server called "MAINSERVER".From here only client system calls the forms.In am calling forms in call_form function like
call_form('\\MAINSERVER\FORMS\employee.fmx',no_hide);
here mainserver is the server name, forms is the folder name and employee is the form name in fmx format.My question is when i call form from server with in a network no problem but When i call form from outside lan that through internet via static ip forms are not called.I tried like this way call_form('\\198.52.67.66\FORMS\employee.fmx',no_hide).Here i have specified static ip and forms folder but is not working.Please someone help me how to solve this.

It does not show any error message the form not called.The call form function tries to call the form via static ip but form not called with out any messages.

Instead of call form from file system can we store form into database and then call it from anywhere.Is it possible in forms 6i with the help of save module into database option in preferences tab.

I'm not sure it will help, but - you might try to add a server into HOSTS and/or LMHOSTS file(s).

As of running a form saved into the database: can't tell for sure, but I'd say that you do need an FMX file to run the form (so my answer would be "no, you can't do that").

By editing these files and adding IP address and server name into them. Google for HOSTS and LMHOSTS, you'll find many examples of how to do that.
