I configured my Forms 6i service to run as an NT service using the Local Administrator account instead of SYSTEM, because we are using mapped drives to cram more pointers into forms60_path.
I logged a TAR, because when the forms server is started as a process from the command line using the local administrator account, the remote clients' browsers can run the forms applications no problem. When I run the forms server as an NT service however, I get errors on the browsers telling me that the form files could not be found. In the Oracle Support forum one technical analyst stated that changing the user for the nt service from system to another account would solve the problem, because system cannot see mapped drives. I set the user to local administrator, but the forms server still cannot find the form files. I logged a TAR, now another analyst told me I must run the forms server as a process from the command line, because the service does not see mapped drives. I asked the analyst to verify what the other analyst had posted on the Oracle forum. Has anyone successfully run the Forms Server service with mapped drives?
