open Oracle 9i Form module with Forms 6i

[slechols]

Is is possible to open a Forms 9i module with Forms 6i? I have a module in 9i that I am going to have another developer modify, etc, but all he has is 6i. Is this going to create a problem? It is a simple module.

i had the same problem.

I had a module in 9i that I was going to open in form 5 (developer 2000) and i couldn´t.

well it opened but i wasn´t possible to see trigger and procedures.

the only thing you can do is see the canvas.

No it is not possible within the ORACLE tools. As near as I could figure out, and it was over a year ago, 9i changes the triggers to java and compiles them while in 6i they are still parsed. The PL/SQL engines are just different. You can bring a 6i form forward to 9i but the reverse is not true. I had to maintain the forms in 6i and then transfer them to 9i to work in both environments!
