Hi,
are you working with Forms 6i or 10g?
If you want to call a forms 10g page. Just use a button with javascript:
- Target type: URL
- URL Target: javascript:window.open ('http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<conf>','Forms window');
With Forms 6i you can open the directory where your forms file is inside (works just with IE):
<script type="text/javascript">
function fnc_window()  {w = open('C:\\FormsFiles', "winLov","scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
</script>Or execute the forms file with vbscript (IE only):
<script language = "vbscript">
sub fnc_forms()
dim progName
progName = "c:\FormsFiles\myForm.exe"
set oShell = createobject("wscript.shell") 'create a shell
'***use the line below to call your app, defined above with the "progName" variable:
oShell.run(progName)
end sub
</script>
