There are two ways for the Forms Runtime to find the attached PL/SQL Library.
First, the .pll file must be located in a directory with the exact same path used when the .pll is attached to the .fmb. For example, if you attach a library called "TESTING.pll" to your form in the Forms Builder and this TESTING.pll is located in C:\TESTING, then when you run your form on a client computer, you must have a C:\TESTING directory with the TESTING.pll file in this directory. When you attached your .pll, you would have received the message, +"Attached library name C:\TESTING\TESTING.pll contains a non-portable directory specification. Remove path?"+ You would have answered "No" to this alert.
Second (and preferred method), is to remove the non-portable directory specification by answering "Yes" to alert listed above. When you distribute your Forms executables to your client computer, you will need to ensure you deliver your library executable as well (.plx). For the Forms Runtime to find your TESTING.plx library, you will need to have the FORMS_PATH environment variable specified on each client computer and have the C:\TESTING directory listed in this FORMS_PATH variable, as well as the directory when the rest of your Forms executables (.fmx) are located. The FORMS_PATH can also be specified in the Windows Registry as Amatu Allah indicated when he/she asked:
Have u set the paths in registery correctly.?You can tell if you have a non-portable directory specification on your library by opening the property pallet for your attached library. If you have a non-portable directory specified, it will be listed in the PL/SQL Library Location property.
