APEX is not the only framework out there; there are others. In the end it won't hurt if you put stuff on the database as you will have the benefit of using it from different client tools of your like. Of course moving away from forms means a rewrite. You have to weigh the up and downsides yourself.
You don't need to move away from forms if you don't see a need for it. However IMHO the installation type of forms 11g with 2 Managed weblogic Servers and one AdminServer running a total of 3 Servlets (plus EM and the weblogic console which are not needed 95% of time) and consuming a total of 3 GB memory makes it completely unusable for small to middle-sized installations. At least we have difficulties to explain to small customers why their application server needs to be twice as big as their database. And all this just because of weblogic which is basically bored as the whole work is done by the forms/reports runtimes which are seperate C-programs. And of course if you are running forms on windows you have the forms session limit imposed by the limitations of the desktop heap on windows platforms (read MOS note 187455.1) which makes the thinking of a "big" forms installation on one server also obsolete at least for windows platforms, and having forms and reports seperated in different managed server has basically no advantage.
So for planning the future of your application I guess you should consider this too. Because of the whole confusion middleware blah forms won't move away from weblogic even if it means breaking nuts with a sledgehammer, and as far as the installation type goes this won't change either (filed a enhancement request for a small impact installation with support which got rejected). If you are serving small to middle sized companies better think twice if forms is the correct tool to use.
Anyway; did you try with the latest patches for forms as mentioned earlier?

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

TS1717 iTunes 11 and Windows 7 (32 bit). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed").

iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.
Any real help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Missing *.inf driver for 2605dtn and windows 7 64 bit

missing *.inf driver for 2605dtn and windows 7 64 bit
I just piurchased a new HP laptop with windows 7 64 bit installed. I do not have any windows 7 disks.
Where do I obtain the necessary drivers for this printer?

HI RandyJohnson,
You do not need to download drivers for this product. Print drivers for your product are available within the Windows 7 operating system. Use Devices and Printers, formerly known as the Add Printer Wizard, to obtain the Windows 7 update. For more information, go to Install the Printer Driver through the Windows 7 Operating System (c02536257) (in English).

Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.

Adobe Reader X 10.1 Install Failing on XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit)

After using the Customization Wizard 10 to create an .mst and executing the install via SCCM 2007 which I have done many times before, I am getting the following error on both the XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit) machines in the Application Event Log:
Product: Adobe Reader X (10.1.0) -- Error 2229.Database: . Could not load table 'ServiceInstall' in SQL query: SELECT `Name`,`DisplayName`,`ServiceType`,`StartType`,`ErrorControl`,`LoadOrderGroup`,`Dependenc ies`,`StartName`,`Password`,`ComponentId`,`Directory_`,`FileName`,`Arguments`,`Description ` FROM `ServiceInstall`, `Component`, `File` WHERE `ServiceInstall`.`Component_` = `Component`.`Component` AND (`Component`.`KeyPath` = `File`.`File`) AND (`Action` = 1 OR `Action` = 2).
I used the following .msi to create the.mst:
AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
Does anyone know where to go from here?
Thanks, Sandy

I have found another possible bug affecting network printing with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode on XP SP3 machines that has not been previously documented:
A number of users in one office were not able to print with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode (even with the printing hotfix/patch previously released) to their default printer; however they were able to print fine with 10.0.1 in Protected Mode OR by disabling Protected Mode in 10.1.2. They could print to Microsoft XPS Document Writer, however.
The cause was determined to be an issue with capitilization of the printer name in the registry! 10.1.2 in Protected Mode seems to be sensitive to this for some strange reason, though other apps don't care.
Check the following keys and ensure the capitalization of any references to name of your printer (or UNC path of the printer share) is consistent:
HKCU\Printers\Connections
HKCU\Printers\Settings
HKCU\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows\Device
In our case, the reference to the name of the default printer was in lowercase, while the printer path recorded under settings was in UPPERCASE. Changing this to match immediately fixed the problem.

Wheel Mousr fix and Windows 7 64 bit

I am using Visual Basic 6 and Window 7 64 bit for my OS. I have the wheel mouse fix for XP, and it also works in Windows 7 32 bit, like the fix did for XP. The Wheel Mouse Fix works fine in Windows 7 32 bit, but doesn't using Windows 7 64 bit. It will
move sometimes, but not like in a 32 bit OS. How can I get the Wheel mouse fix to work using Windows 7 64 bit??? Is there some way to make it call the Program Files(x86) folder???
The command line for registering the DLL is:
Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 C:\VBMouse\VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll, and then click OK.
Like I said it works fine for 32 bit, but not using 64 bit. Anyone out there have any ideas.
Thanks,
dabeartn

Hi,
I'm very pleased to say that I've just this minute figured this one out.
I'm assuming you've grabbed the download from here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837910
The solution is here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282747
What I suggest you do is:
1. Put VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll somewhere where it can live forever more - I went for C:\Windows
2. Open a command prompt (I opened mine as Admin, not sure if it's necessary but why not eh?)
3. cd \windows\syswow64
4. regsvr32 c:\Windows\VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll
Then open VB6 as usual, under the Add-Ins menu click on Add-In Manager and you should see MouseWheel Fix at the very top. Just tick the Load Behavior boxes as you wish and that's it.
Cheers,
Nick

Forms 6i on Windows 7 (32 Bit ): FRM-41211 and DBMS 1403

Hi All,,
I want to find a solution for Forms 6i 6.0.8.25.2 on Windows 7 (32 Bit). We get the follwoing errors, if we want to use Reports-Server:
FRM-41211 ...
DBMS Errorcode: 1403 and Errtext: ORA-01403
By the way, we can use Reports-Server on Windows 7 (64 Bit) after change NN60.dll und NNB60.dll with older version of DLLs.
Is there any experince regarding this matter?
Thanks in advance,
Moh

Although it's not certified I am running a forms 6i application on win7 64bit. So far nothing too hard (in fact as I installed developer suite it was easier to install then the 10g version...); the only thing I did was to apply the latest patchset for forms 6i (6.0.8.27.0); both forms and reports are running fine (I am using reports almost never though). This doesn't mean this should always work, but at least you have a little chance to get it working. As for your ORA-1403: did you try to debug your report?
http://ora-1403.ora-code.com/
would indicate a problem in your code to me, not a OS problem...
You should look into upgrading though; here's a starter:

Sync outlook with Iphone and windows 7 64 bits

Hello,
I have a new computer (HP DV7 3080ef) with windows 7 64 bits, itunes 9.0.2.25 and one iphone 3Gs 3.1.2.
I succeed to import from XP 32 bits my library on my new pc, including my outlook (2007) file.
I can synchronize my computer with iphone, thanks to this forum for the help, but only my outlook data are not transferred from pc to iphone and iphone to pc...without any error message and during the sync process, on the header of itunes we can see the sync for calendar, contacts and notes...Other topics are syncronized without prob.
I am totally lost and would like to continue to use my iphone as I did with my old XP computer.
thanks for your help
Herve

ok I succeed. Maybe it can help somebody. solution is to recreate a new PST file, copy and paste all folders form old to new one (contacts, calendars, notes etc...). Then in outlook open Tools/options/data file, and select the new one as default file.
sync now works, I can use my precious with my laptop.
Hope this topic will help.
Greetings seasons to all.

Help Installing Forms 11G on Windows 7 64 Bit

I am trying to install. I installed 64 bit Java JDK, Weblogic generic server, and finally Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0). When the Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discover install get to step 6 of 16, it reports: INST-07408: Unable to install or configure the product on a 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit machine. Note that the error seems to be a complaint against a JVM, not a JDK. Does anyone have a fix?

In-Home Agent and Windows 7, 64 bit

I tried this earlier in response to a message and got no response. I will try again. The In-Home Agent may be supposed to work with Windows 7, but it falls quite short on my Windows 7-64. The TV section is fogged out and has no information. It will not retrieve SSID or WEP keys, but only comes up with a blank screen (i.e. nothing happens). It finds no Verizon e-mail on my computer. There is a possible javascript problem:In closing the Agent, "an error has occurred in the script on this pageLine: 1Char: 1Error: Invalid Character URL: file://C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Verizon/FiOS/ihs/hnm/js/contentslider.js
Besides the javascript error, another problem might be that my e-mail address is [email protected], which then relays it to [email protected] I am not about to change that. Can the agent be made to work properly?

Could you guys at least make it FAIL on Windows 7 64-bits? Every time I need something I get prompted and re-directed to use InHome agent. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the inhome agent takes liek 4-5 minutes to come up, the feedback button takes like 3 minutes to "load a form" and then gives you a blank page, nothing works. I hate it that something that should take 30 seconds to do causes me to spend 1/2 an hour fighting your software. The same goes for your website, unfortunately. I like Fios, but when I recommend it I tell people "Verizon has just about the WORST support software in the industry". Don't expect a lot from their web site, their voice mail on a PC, their order management system, etc., etc., etc". Very aggravated. Dave I have to agree with Dave. I also have W7 Ultimate x64 and I removed the V* sw because it was bloatware. Also, it's ridiculous that sometimes it takes forever for the V* website to load when I don't have a bandwidth issue (I've run speedtest while waiting for the V* site to load). As far as IHA, the messages weren't very helpful. When will V* start to care about the user experience, especially from a support perspective? I also tell everyone that FIOS is great, as long as it works. If you need help, fugitabotit! Ordering things on the web should be easy, like DirecTV, not a CF like the V* site. If I could get the HD D* signal, I'd go back, just because the user experience is so much better than V*...

Forms 6i and windows 7 registry problem

Hi,
We are using forms 6i patch 14 on windows 2008 R2/windows 7. The only problem is that the form reads from "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE" key instead of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\" like it should, and did on XP/2003.
Is it plausible to change that because we use that forms with windows terminal services and cannot set the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE" key for every new user.
Thanks

Unfortunately the whole thing (forms 6i) is desupported.

Forms problem in Window 7 64 bit

Dear Members
I have installed "Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2" on Windows 7 64bit. I have the Internet Explorer 9. Now when i run the forms it prompts for download jinit when i try to download it show the error dialog box as under
Jinit.exe
Cannot download this file.
Details:
HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error (Forefront TMG denied the specified Uniform
Resource Locator (URL). )
Now i have installed manually JInitiator 1.3.1.26 (32-bit) and also copy the jvm.dll file in the desire folder. When i run the form it shows blank page with broken link.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards

This is a common question in the Forum. A simple search of the forum and you would have found that Oracle Developers Suite 10g R2 (version 10.1.2.0.2) is not supported on Windows 7 64-bit. However, you would have also found a couple of threads where people have made this work.
Now i have installed manually JInitiator 1.3.1.26 (32-bit) and also copy the jvm.dll file in the desire folder. Don't do this! This is a complete HACK of the OS and there is no guaruntee that this will work and more importantly this could screw-up your OS.
By default, Forms 10g is configured to use the Oracle Jinitiator because this was the Java Runtime Oracle was using at the time. Now, however, Oracle has changed directions and has adopted the standard Java Runtime. Therefore, you must reconfigure Forms 10g to use the Java Runtime Plug-In (JPI) on Windows 7. With Windows XP you did not need to do this. Take a look at Forms: How to Configure Forms Builder to run forms locally for detailed steps on reconfiguring Forms 10g.
@937097
I had the same problem in my computer, and the guys from systems department solved the problem installing Windows XP SP3.thy triend to install Forms10 with Windows 7 64bits, but they said it can't be done. >
I disagree with your "Systems Department". I have Forms 10g installed and running quite well on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. There are a few pre-installation steps you must take to install Forms 10g, but it can be done. At the very least, your Systems Department staff could have installed Windows XP Mode for Windows 7. Take a look at:
Windows XP Mode - Windows 7 Features
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
Download Windows XP Mode
I've tested Forms 10g with XP Mode and it works fine there as well, but I prefer not to deal with the overhead of the Virtual Machine.
To properly install Forms 10g R2 on Windows 7 you must first have Windows 7 Professional or higher. Then follow these steps:
1. Install Java Runtime 1.6.0_33 (32-bit).
2. Change Windows Virtual Memory from System Managed to a specific amount (2048mb Initial size, 4096mb Max). The Oracle installer can't detect VM settings if they are system managed. You will need to restart your computer after making this change. Once you have completed the installation, you can change the settings back to system managed.
3. Right-Click the setup.exe and select properties. Select the Compatibility tab and click "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)".
4. Run the installer.
Once complete, review the document I linked above for configuring Forms to run locally from the Forms Builder.
Hope this helps,
