be fine. Make sure you apply the latest patches on either -- there were bugs
in the first releases. I haven't used Forms 6, but I did just finish a
conversion from Forms 4.5 to 6i and it went fairly smoothly. I did a
conversion 2 years ago from 4.5 to 5.0 and that was frustrating -- 5.0 was
and stayed very buggy.
You might want to consider using the Forms server and "web" forms. Forms 6i
works very nicely with the browser and it really eliminates a lot of
deployment issues.

Hi All,
One of my co-workers has a forms 4.5 application on Oracle 7.3 running on
Sun Solaris.
They recently installed Oracle 8.0.5 on another Sun box. He is needing to
move the forms application to
new computer. He says forms 4.5 is unsupported and wants to know what
version should he go to
that will be the easiest upgrade from forms 4.5. For ex if developer 6.0 is
installed will it convert the
forms 4.5 relatively pain free. Does anyone have any suggestion/experience?
Thanks,
