Forms 10g can only open Forms 5 and newer. To open Forms 4 and 4.5 you have to use Forms 5, 6, or 6i. [Due to the PL/SQL needing to be migrated.] If you are using an even earlier version, please say which version.

"Source Object: xx" would appear to be from a reference form or reference object library. You will have to convert that reference form or reference object library to 6i before you can use it.

Also, the directory containing the converted reference form or object will have to exist in the new Oracle Forms 6i FORMS60PATH that is defined in your Registry.

Start > run > regedit ... My Computer / Hkey_local_machine / software / oracle ... now the difficult part. You have to know which HOMEx is for which version of Oracle. Look and it is not too difficult. The Forms 6 home has entries with '60' in them, the 9 home has '90' in the names. The 4.5 has '45', etc. Find your FORMS60PATH and put your working directory at the BEGINNING of the list. Look to see how youe other 'PATH's have been set up.

The HOMEs are numbered 0, 1, 2, etc. ALL_HOMES has a HOME_COUNTER and a LAST_HOME. The LAST_HOME is your current home. That is, LAST_HOME = 0, means 'HOME0'. It is 'nicer' to use the 'change oracle home' application which is hanging off your Oracle hierarchy in the start > programs list than to change it directly in the Registry.

David,
In the registry, under the oracle node, ALL_HOMES,HOME1 and HOME0 is there. nowhere FORMS60_PATH is there. Under HOME1 FORMS60 is there and path given is c:\oracle\8.0\forms60.

now should i move all my working .plx, .fmx files under that directory or else i have to create manually forms60_path under the name form1 and put my working directory there.

pls help.
thanks

This shows that your database resides under HOME0 and your Forms reside under HOME1.
Now if you don't see FORMS60_PATH under HOME1, you can create it and give the name of the working directory in the Value.
Right Click ----> New -----> String Value -----> Rename to FORMS60_PATH -----> Double click it and give your working directory here.

Although you CAN replace 'c:\oracle\8.0\forms60' with your working directory, I STRONGLY recommend that you 'prepend' [put before] YOUR working directory (on a network drive so that it is backed-up each night Smile ) into the list of directories in the current FORMS60_PATH statement. This is critical when you start working with designer as it has directories that MUST exist in the FORMS60_PATH so that it can do the form generation for you.

As a rule of thumb - NEVER work in an Oracle created directory and unless you REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING NEVER remove an Oracle created directory from the Registry entry against which Oracle placed it.

You have to define the UI_ICON entry in your Registry and have it point to the directory that contaisn the ICO files. Remember, when you get to 9i they have to be gif files for run-time and ico files for the Builder.
