I have a forms 4.5 form that uses external database packages.
I access the package typically:
txt := pkg_test.aa(:b1.txt_in) ;
where pkg_test is the package name aa is the function.
This all works fine against database 8.1.7 and
database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
However when I try and run this against a different database
10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0
I am unable to compile anything that uses an external package !
Yes I know its an old version of forms and it not supported by Oracle,
but this is what happens in industry !

I get error 303 at line xx column xx
qualifier pkg_test.aa must be declared.
This package exists in the database. I can use it at plsql prompt OK and it works fine.
When I compile against Db 10.2.0.1.0 it works fine. When I compile against Db 10.2.0.4.0
I get the error message.
A public synonym exists and execute grant to public exists.
Check if you are connected to the same database in forms as in sqlplus.
1. create an new function (or any other object) in the database via sqlplus.
2. in forms builder connect to the database
3. check the object navigator in the forms builder
look for the existence of the new function in the 'database objects' (last brace beneath 'object libraries' and 'builld in packages'.
If you find the new function try to use it in the form : if you get the same error then I am stuck.
If you don't find the new function your probably connected to another database :
my guess is there is a different tnsnames.ora used by sqlplus and forms builder. (same servicename but different connection)
Good luck.
Geoffbates,
Were you able to resolve this compilation issue eventually?
We are getting the same problem.
Thanks
