how to create main menue for forms & reports

[bilalch]

hi dear fellows

i'm a beginner in oracle developer and i don't know much about pl/sql.
the problem here is that after i've created all the forms
and reports which i need. but now i want to create some main menue from where i logon to the oracle DB and, can call the forms or reports without logging on for each form and report separately, whatever on button click.
kindly write me in brief.
thanx.

You may call your forms from menu by CALL_FORM or OPEN_FORM built-ins. Just create some root form and attach menu calling other forms to it.

hi dear dima

many cardial thanks for ur reply to my question, but the main problem i've is that

1stly i'm a beginner and don't know how to pass the parameters to these functions as i've tried "call_form()" for the forms and from within the forms i've tried "run_product()" for the reports by giving the full path in parameters.but it generates error at compile time.
2ndly, the thing is that i want myself to keep from logging on to each report and form seperately. but i want
one interface window where i log-in and can navigate through forms and reports.

thanx

Can you specify versions and type of deployment? My suggestion was for client-server. In that case you need not apply credentials each time: moreover, you may call forms within the same Oracle session.
