Printing/viewing sql generated data under 9ias

Question

Thanks for your quick response.
a quick example of what i am trying to do.
Under forms45
Run sqlplus from a .sql file containing
spool report.lst
select pat_sur,pat_DOb form patient where
pat_key >= &start and
pat_key <= &end;
spool off;
exit
This is called under forms45 and loads sql with the operator entering start and end patient
Sql is executed and results placed in report.lst
I thing use a host command, typically
host 'start winword report.lst'
User can then view and print report from Word.
This stills works fine under oracle9ias when i am running
on the server PC.
However, when i am logged on via antoher pc in the network, all the interaction i.e. entering start and end patient keys , the calling of word and the subsequent loading on the report details are all actioned on the
file server. All that happens to me on the "client pc" is
the Hour-glass appearing, which disappears when i have finished processing on the file server.
How can a run the sql on the "client Pc" to allow entering
on parameters,calling of word and subsequently see the details of the report.
I hope thus clarifies what my problem is.
Look forward to hearing from you.
