ORA -04062 when running forms aginst a different schema

Question

Hello,
I am getting this error (ORA -04062 signature of 'procedure' has been changed)when I try to run my form aginst my test- schema (different from my development schema). I get rid of the error if I compile the form against the test schema. In the production environment I have to run this form against multiple schemas, so recompilation is not a possible solution.
Has anybody else come across this problem.

Thanks John for your reply !
I think my problem is close to the second thing you mention as a possible cause. I found out that I had used a parameter of type table%ROWTYPE in call to a pacakged procedure. When I defined a "TYPE MyRec IS RECORD" record type in my pacakge specification and used that as the type for the parameter my form seems to work against my test schema without recompilation. Unfortunately the table is pretty large so my package specification does not look so neat anymore. And I lost the dynamics associated with the %ROWTYPE attribute.

That's a well-known bug. Its worse with a v7 database, but still can occur with 8/8i.
A couple of things to look for:
1) REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE is SIGNATURE instead of TIMESTAMP in init.ora.
2) Forms that call stored procedures with a large parameter list (about 55 or more) can get a run-time error ORA-4062 if running on a different schema than where it was compiled.
3) You can also hit a snag if you are calling a dbms_XX package within the form. Instead, call it within a db procedure, which you can call from the form.
