Remember, Oracle Forms 10g is web based. This means the Form actually runs on the Application Server and is presented on the Client using the Java Applet. Using the DDE built-ins will run on the Application Server not the client. To do what you want on the Client, you will need to configure and use WebUtil or you will have to use a 3rd party Java Bean. WebUtil is the preferred method because it is supplied by and supported by Oracle. Take a look at the following Forms Help topics for information about WebUtil and how to configure it.

The last two articles relate to configuration. The checklist is a great way to ensure you have completed each step correctly.

Hope this helps,
Craig...

I got O/p by using client host command.

client_host('cmd /C start "cmd.." "winword.exe" Test.doc');

I have requriement that i need to get document file while Pressing in menu through form.I am using formbuilder 10g.The above code i have written in a form placing a button.In menus we are not suppose to use the webutil As the Webutil library can be loaded in forms only.so can u please suggest any another way of getting document by simply pressing in menu.Looking fwd for your solution.

Client_Host is a WebUtil procedure. The OP still must configure WebUtil in order to use CLIENT_HOST.
