Navigating Oracle Forms 6i Client with external API?

Hi -

I currently have a VB screen pop client application that pops a new browser when an agent receives a new phone call. It hits a URL linked up to our 8i database and loads relevant customer information via a PLSQL package. Our business is migrating to (yes to) 6i right now and I have received requests to upgrade the screen pop client to pop directly into Oracle Service (an 11i forms application). I'm having a few issues:
1. I found the Web From Tester (runform.htm) that comes with Developer 6i, but everytime I launch my form (establishing a connection to the web host and web app does not seem to be a problem) it prompts me for a username and password. I have tried to add my userid to this form but no dice, anyone have suggestions?
2. If it is even possible to authenticate and get inside Oracle, does anyone know of an API I can call from VB to navigate inside the 6i client?

thanks, hopefully someone else has tried this, any tips appreciated -
