Run_report_object returns null

Question

Hello,
I am having a problem with forms/reports integration on my local Windows machine. (Forms 9i, Reports 6i).
I have a report object TEST, pointing at the test.rdf. The report is OK, I can run it from the browser with no problem at all (http://x52-XXXX:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_x52-myrep+report=test.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=pdf).
When I try to run the report from a form, find_report_object does not give any error, (I checked id_null), but run_report_object does not work:
I can see that jobid is not assigned, it stays null and I am getting the error
Error Message 7700 not found; product=forms90; facility=FMF
I checked on the Report Sever, and the job was not started there. Howerver, if I run the same test report directly in the browser, it works.
The code is here:
begin
report_id     Report_Object;
     ReportServerJob     VARCHAR2(100);
     jobID VARCHAR2(100);
     rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
     ReportServer varchar2(100) := 'rep_x52-myrep';
     ReportName     varchar2(100) := 'TEST';
begin
report_id := find_report_object(ReportName);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, ReportServer);
     ReportServerJob := run_report_object(report_id);
end;
Any ideas?

You need the same version of Forms and Reports to do
this. The integration is not done thru the same
mechanisms as calling a report thru a browser.It worked before. I did not mention, but it worked successfully for a year already on my computer, and it still works on production (UNIX). However, at some point it stopped working on my local Windows computer and I am trying to figure out what could be the reason. I did not change the code except for the name of the server, so it must be something in configuration, but what exactly? Anybody?
