How can I create hyperlink to call a form from a form ?
Normally I called another block or form thru button triggers. There I put my necessary command to invoke another form. But I want to change my traditional menu into something like a webpage that used hyperlinks.
Can anyone helpme on this. Your prompt reply are very much appreciated.

Hi Schwertner,
Wow!!!! That's really something for me and I never thought such a quick response.
This is the reason why I joint / subscribe Expert-exchange forum.
I don't know yet whether this will work for me or not.
But I am happy that there is a place for me to discuss my difficulties and get the solution interactively.
Thanks a million and I will try this once I understood well all those steps.

Sorry before I continue, I am currently using Oracle Develope Suite 10G which I think not so much different with 9i form. However if there is any major different, will all those steps that you elaborated be changed as well ?
thanks.

I also use Oracle Develope Suite 10G (but the version only called so, in fact it is 9.4......).
No, I am sure that this feature is not oblelete.
Also a good approach is to use online help of Forms.

Hi schwertner,
Today I tried all step that you suggest.
1st try, it failed. I noticed that "f90all_jinit.jar" file is not found because I am using 10G instead of 9ids. But after I replaced with "frmall_jinit.jar", the form displayed without error.
But when I click to the hyperlink, somehow the explorer blocked it. I tought this is just a small problem. "Popups were blocked in this page, press and hold control......". But after I set my firewall "allowing all", the problem still remain. Strange ? Is this anything to do with my form OR just simply my explorer ? Another thing is, what if I want to add another link ? Do I have to repeat Step1 f ?
Thanks in advance.

Popup blocked -----> It is feature of the browser. Go to the browser properties and allow popups.

In order for Internet Explorer to download JInitiator automatically, you need to disable "Pop-up" blocking.
To do this, go to "Tools","Pop Up Blocker", and select "OFF"
After you've successfully installed JInitiator, you can turn Pop-up blocking back on.
To do this, go to "Tools","Pop Up Blocker", and select "ON".

I already did that. Strange thing is The Demo runs ok, even if I set the blocker on.

Hi Schwertner,
I have accepted your solution even the hyperlink were still blocked by pop-up blocker.
But I would be grateful if you can tell me other possibilities that may cause such problem
and how to maximise the form so that it can utilised the whole screen as normal IE does.
Thanks a million.

I will do my best to help you.
What is your OS?
Do you use firewalls? XP uses default firewall, turn it off.
Look for hidden firewall products in the Processes list.
Antiviruses? Turn of!
Use the latest versions of Dev. Suite!
E.g. forms 9i can not run against OAS 10g!
Same for the OAS - latest version!
---------INFO-------------
The Forms9i Demos currently do not come with 9iDS Release 2 (9.0.2.0.1) and
must be downloaded from otn. You can download them from:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/content.html
On this page you will see the ReadMe and Source for the ?The Oracle9i Forms
Demos.? You can click on the Source link and download them to your computer and
unzip them. Now follow these instructions to install them:
1) Download Jinitiator 1.3.1.9 from OTN if you don't have it installed
2) Unzip the file into a suitable temporary folder e.g. c:\temp\9idemos
3) Start the 9iDS OC4J before installing
4) Start the Universal installer from the Oracle Installation Products start
menu option. This should be Oracle Universal Installer 2.1.
5) Point the installer at the (c:\temp\9idemos\)products
your 9iDS Oracle Home as the home to install into.
6) Follow the installer instructions
a) You will next see a screen that asks for the OC4J Admin Port and Password.
If you did a default install of 9iDS Release 2, you can take the defaults.
b) Enter Database Information
c) Decide if you wish to do a complete install of the demos. If you wish to
use only a few of the beans, such as the hyperlink, getclientinfo, keyfilter,
etc., you will not need to install the DB objects.
d) The next screen just explains how to install the demo schemas should you
choose to do so later.
e) The following screen gathers DB information for installing the demo
schemas.
f) The demos need to know where Jinitiator 1.3.1.9 is installed so enter it
on this screen.
g) Now you are ready to install them.
7) Once you have completed the installation the demos will be installed in the
9iDS_home\forms90\demos directory.
This set of demos is only intended for installation into an Oracle9iDS
