Yip I kinda figured that and tend to code that way anyhow But.... There is OCA which does work with a number of other database it's just there isn't a ready built MySql setup. I'll try converting one of the others to run Thanks anyhow

I can't think of how you'd get that to work without a ton of custom. For starters, you'll have to write your own transactional triggers and intercept every one of Oracle's select, lock, update, insert, delete, like On-Lock, On-Insert, etc. since Forms will want things like rowids. You'll also have to write your own on-Login. Mike" Oracle and MySQL differ in date handling, functions, triggers/stored prodedures (or lack of), outer-join syntax, and a hundred other ways that would make Forms incompatible with MySQL. Not to mention the fact that Forms probably uses SQL*Net and a TNSNames.ora entry.
