Dear Mr. Tom,

I have seen VB, PB etc. front ends making their .exe files and installing them directly on clients machine without installing the software.

Can u tell me in which way can we make an .exe file of an project developed with Oracle - D2k.

If not possible then what is the other way of not showing our source code to the user same as the .exe ones.

A forms/report will be delivered to your end users in a compiled binary format. For example -- your end users do not get the .fmb file from forms -- they get a .fmx file. The .fmx file cannot be reversed into a .fmb.

So, if just preventing access to your code is the issue, the .fmx file will cover that.

if this is client server forms, easy - HOST()

if not, please use the discussion forums on otn.oracle.com - there you will find many people that use forms - it has been since march 1995 for me.
