Calling Forms application from external application

edited Feb 13, 2011 9:39AM in Oracle Forms (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
Hi everyone,

I have an Oracle Forms 10g application that is running in Jinitiator in IE7 that allows users to enter orders for a particular customer.  Another application is going to be used to manage the calling of the customer and when the user is ready to enter the order, they ideally would click on a button in the external application that would somehow bring up our order application passing in the customer number to a specific form.

How do I do this?  Is there some sort of API call to Forms that can be used?

I would expect that our Forms application would already be up and running with the user logged into it and that the call from the other app would have to find the Forms window, then call the customer search form using the passed in number.  Is this possible?

Howdy, Stranger!
