Hi

Version: Oracle DB 10g ,
Designer Ver 9.0.4.3
Platform WIN XP, Local client

I am able to bring in Server Model for the existing schema successfully.

But each time I try to capture design of any one of the existing forms (.fmb files) the designer throws the following error.

Form Generator (Windows 98/NT/2000/XP) : Version 9.0.4.3.14 - Production on Tue Jun 20 07:24:46 2006
Copyright (c) 1995, 2004 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved

Capturing Module
Capture Unsuccessful

CDG-01338 ERROR: Folder SYSTEM FOLDER: Failed to load form C:\oracle\ORADS\forms90\LTCS\ltcs.fmb
Design Capture Complete



The mentioned form uses the library (.olb) file (user created) and I did bring that into the repository as well. This was a solution suggested in one of your earlier posts, but it is not working here.

I guess my question is : what steps must one take to capture design of an existing form that uses user created libraries?

Would greatly appreciate any insights or tips in this regard.

Thanks
Suma

PS: I am able to do design capture of the default form "TEST.fmb" successfully. This is the form supplied with oracle forms package and does not use any database items or libraries.

Is it a Forms 6 form?
(I found this link when I googled for the error-message.)

Hi Frank,

The FORMS version is 9.0.4.3.

I did solve the problem. I did the following:

1. Design Editor -> Options -> Generator Options -> Forms ->
Dependencies -> File or DataBase (radio button)-> <path of my .olb files and .fmb files>

2. Set an environment var in Windows
"FORMS90_PATH" and pointed it to include my .olb and .fmb file paths. I also added designer path to it(under oracle home).

PS: End all the paths with "\". And restart the designer after u make the changes.

This solved the problem and I am able to capture designs of all of my forms.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Suma
