    Batch print from Forms with Oracle Report but not ORARRP?

    I have users who need to print multiple Oracle Reports and don't want to view them in Acrobat first, which is the way they are normally presented and printed. The reports in question are called from Oracle Forms and running through a Web portal. It works fine, one at a time, to display and/or...

    Is there a way to output from Forms to a Word 2000 template?

    My user has a lengthy Word 2000 template that until now has been filled via MS Access. They want to convert the application to Oracle Forms with a 9ias database, but I don't know if it's possible to output to a Word template from within Forms and I haven't seen it in the forums. Can anyone...

    How do you ensure at least 1 detail rec for a master rec?

    I've got a master/detail relationship with the master record in one table and detail records in another, joined on a key field. I want to make sure the user can't save a master block record without having at least 1 (valid/complete) record in the detail block, but this is my first attempt at...

    Is Forms 6i compatible with Oracle 9ias or must we upgrade?

    We're new at this and our user has decided they want 9ias for the database. We don't know if our Forms 6i and Reports 6i will be compatible or if we need to go to 9i on both. Can anyone help? Thanks!! Carolyn

    Can Forms command button labels be 2 lines? How?

    We need to use multiple words on a button label, but it makes it too wide. We tried using set_item_property for the button label and concatenating chr(10) between the words, but it just showed up as 2 words (on one line) with a dark bar between them. Can it be done or are we out of luck...

    How can you put the label in 2 lines on a Forms command button?

    We have some buttons that must have several words on them, but are too wide that way. We tried using set_item_property for the button label, using chr(10) between the words, but that didn't work. Does anything? Thanks!

    Used chr(13) for newline in a message, got musical notes in Explorer!

    In an alert message, I concatenated chr(13)||chr(13) to put a blank line between the 2 sentences. It looked fine in Forms on my PC, but when I tried to run it through the browser, I got 2 eighth notes between the 2 sentences -- and no newline. What do you use to get a blank line? Thanks!

    Can you create ad hoc reports from Forms 6i/Reports 6i?

    We would like to protect the users from the actual table and field names, but still allow them to select which columns and in what order to display them in a report. I was wondering if we created a view with "user friendly" column names, could we start the Report Wizard from inside...

    Can you create ad hoc reports from Forms 6i/Reports 6i?

    I have a user who wants the ability to create new reports on the fly. We use Reports Builder 6i and Form Builder 6i. Can you start the report wizard from inside forms? Thanks!

    Urgent - What does Set db = DbEngine(0)(0) mean???

    DBEngine(0)(0) is the same thing as DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0), which is also what Access calls CurrentDB. According to a reference book I have ("Access97 Developer's Handbook" by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert), the DBEngine(0)(0) sytax is required if you're trying to control DAO...

    Anyone have some "Version Control" Solutions???

    I've got a similar situation, with the data .mdb on the main server and the source .mde on the user's own PC's. To make sure they are using the correct version, the code on the opening form checks the 2 versions. I've included the code below -- sorry that it's kind of long, but here you go...

    Help! How can I format a report in code -- including grouping?

    I need to build an ad hoc query/report, knowing no more than the possible columns that may be chosen. If the user chooses to show a column, I must be able to put the header and data on the report, and add some sort of offset before writing out the next column. I must build the queries and...
