Hi,
My question is whenever I bring a report down from Unix onto my local drive and I attempt to open it in Oracle Forms it hangs for a very long time. Is this normal? I am using Forms 6i and the files I'm downloading from Unix are 6i as well.
Finally, I get tons of error messages stating the library files (.pll) are missing.
2nd question: when I download a form file from Unix what other files do I need to download to my local drive? I usually just download the .fmb file only.
3rd question: I noticed some .err files in the forms directory any idea what these are?
I'm new to using forms, so please be easy with me.

Remember that when you run your Forms on a Unix machine you have to recompile them ON the Unix machine. Do the libraries first, then the menus, and then the forms. I recommend only using the 'rdf' version of the reports and NOT use the 'rep' compiled version.
