i have about 10 reports developed by Oracle Reports. and i have compiled all of them.
Now, my management want me to do a screen whereby if i click "REPORT 1", it should open report 1.. and etc...

Do we use Oracle Forms to do this and if yes how do i do it ? Any site I can learn from... ?? Pls help

Yes. There are a few alternatives - drop down list or ten buttons or items in a menu bar.

Look in the Forms reference manual for run_product (6i) or run_report_object and web.show_document (9i/10g). Also search this forum for these keywords.

Hi,
1)You can use a drop down box to get a list of report;
2)After selecting the report id u will have to call the report
for calling the report u will have to use

Run_Product(REPORTS,'C:\Work\Reports\'||:REPORT_LIST, ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,'');
for more detail about run_product

u can use this code in when_button_pressed

so that would be enough to call your report

I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED SAMPLE FORM TAHT WILL HELP YOU

JUST SEE THE LIST OF VAL
AND BUTTON CODE

i tried editing the push button script that you gave me...
is this the way

DECLARE
REPORT_ID		Report_Control_A1;

	begin
		Report_Control_A1:=	FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('L:\RA\RA\TRAP\Report_Control_A1.rdf') ;
			
	Run_Product(REPORTS,'L:\RA\RA\TRAP\Report_Control_A1.rdf'||:REPORT_LIST, ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,'');
	END;

am not so sure whether to use the .rdf or .rep
Can u check whether there is problem with the above ?

Thanks a lot

I recommend putting the path to your reports in the REPORTS_PATH entry of the registry and then just refer to the form by name without directory name or extension. I also recommend only using 'rdf' reports as they run just as well as 'rep' reports and if you move to a mixed windows/unix environment you don't have to worry about recompiling.
