So we're _finally_ working toward migrating from good ol' Forms 6i to Forms 11g. We've worked thru various issues.
The current issue ... how to grab the OS's user ID and pass it into the form?
I know this may be a redundant question: but I searched and could not find an answer.
The original way was ...
[path][ifrun60.EXE [path2\form-to-call %username%/[pswd]@db_name
But now ... every example I can easily find shows "userID" in the formsweb.cfg file as a whole, hard-coded string ...
someID/pswd@db_name
... and we've tried %username%
I think I am probably not searching correctly, I cannot be the first person to ask this question ...
We need this to be simple, work everywhere. We are not so much concerned with security ... our users have already authenticated to the Windows domain server, and an environment variable is "out there" ...
If we could be pointed in the correct direction, that would be great.
Thanks for your time and help.
