This doesn't seem to work in Forms 10g: I get a "FRM-40367: Invalid Cri...
We've inherited a large Oracle project that was originally Oracle 9 and is now Oracle 11. We don't have much confidence in the Forms change register. Are there any tools we could use to compare the two Forms projects? (By virtue of the fact that two different versions of Forms are involved, there will be differences even though the un...

I would like to have a block in an Oracle 10g form that would show all of the PDF files in a particular folder on the user's C drive. The user should at least be able to double-click on the file to open it, and ideally be able to delete and rename the files, too. The list of files should show the filename (obviously) as well as the siz...
