Thanks for that Alan, I was begining to think I'd missed something 'obvious'.

My fears are that as the forms are rolled out to another site/ database instance there is no way of knowing if the forms will run against the current server objects,
Are all the tables / packages /procedures /sequences there that the form was originally compiled against ?? etc.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer re-compiling all my source against the proposed target database!
