Hi,

We are using Forms 4.5 under NT4 and Windows 2000 against 81714 database on Windows.

For a particular form, the fields are set to invoke the System Editor when Edit, Edit 
is selected from the menu or <Ctrl-E> is pressed.

This works under NT4 but under W2K.

Under W2K, Forms 4.5 tries to create a temp file with a 4 character extension (eg 
.1TMP) but the file is not created.
Under NT4, the file is created successfully with the expected 3 character .TMP 
extension.

Has anyone seen this behaviour and know of a workaround?

We are considering altering the item properties to use the default editor instead of 
the system editor, but it would be better to allow the system editor (notepad) to keep 
working.

I have tried altering the system editor to write or the NT4 version of notepad (by the 
registry setting forms45_editor) but this has no effect.

Thanks, 
Bruce Reardon
