Hi all,
I can understand what you say, and I know the Forms version is very old ,but I don't know how to explained to my boss,
My boos always say : Delphi can export data to Excel until now!...
I always say : I will upgrade my Forms version......
Because my company use Oracle EBS r12 ,the technical based on Oracle FORM/Report 10g
I tried to install the OAS 10g ,but the 10g server is unstable....
Then I thinking to upgrade the Form 6i to Form 11g.....,what are you think it's feasibility??
My OS version is windows XP.....
BTW...some Oracle Rport 6i can't not preview in Windows 7 's platform,but not all........Orz
In XP platform ,all Report preview is well...
