Oracle 9i Qs: URL contains extra characters and how to maximize servelet

Q1. Whenever I run my form, it starts MSIE OK, but puts the characters
http://%%20" in front of the URL, like this:

http://%%20"http://W18670:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form =C:\ANPR\Source _v2\Forms\Frmma in&userid=user/password@databa se&buffer_recor ds=NO&debug_mes sages=NO&array= YES&query_only= NO&quiet=NO&REN DER=YES"

Every time I run the form, I have to delete these 12 characters from
the front of the URL and hit enter and it runs fine. Why? I have
checked all the set up options I can find, and I have searched the
registry and in every Oracle file on the system for 'http:/' and I
can't find it anywhere.

Can anybody suggest some things to try?

Q2. When the Java servelet runs, there is a grey bar across the top of
the applet with the Oracle logo on the right hand side. Some of my
forms are bigger than the applet window, in which case I get scroll
bars. Does anybody know whether I can maximize the applet to take up
the full web browser screen? Alternatively, can I run the servlet not
using MSIE but just in a window?

I have been trying to find some good books on Forms 9i or information
on the net. Can anybody recommend some resources? I have the Oracle
Press Oracle 9i Complete Reference, but it only covers SQL and PL/SQL
which is not so much use to me. There doesn't seem to be much around
eg. on Amazon about Forms 9i.

Thank you very much for any help you can give.

I should add to what I have put above that I have the form open in
Oracle Forms Builder to begin with. I am pressing F5 (or click on
Programs, Run Form) in order to run it, and that is how MSIE gets
started.

Thanks for any help.

OK, I have the answer to that one:
In Oracle Forms, click on Edit, Preferences.
Click on the Runtime tab and completely specify
the Application Server URL (e.g. http://W18670:8888/forms90.f90servlet)
and the Web Browser Location (e.g. C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLO RE.EXE).

No problemo mate! :-)
Btw, I looked this up at Metalink.
Unfortunately I cannot distributed my login // pwd or my company could
loose his oracle support.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post them!.

I have thought a bit about Q1:
I think that is related to IE.
Login as Administrator
goto the dos prompt
cd "Documents and settings"
cd "<user>"
cd "Local Settings"

delete "History" & Temporary Internet Folder

and reboot.

You have also be carefull with the directory you put your forms in!!
Make sure that there are NO spaces tabs or other control characters
in..
Otherwise you will bump into another 9000 error.

And thirdly, if you wish to use the forms in another language, like
me, in Dutch.

Go to the register,
Go the Oracle Home of Forms
Add or adapt the NLS_LANGUAGE parameter
Reboot is prefferred.

Fourthly,
To work convienently with menus, you have to set the correct path
to your forms directory:

Register
Oracle Home of forms
Add or adapt the following parameter: forms_path
edit the key and reboot (always be on the safe side)

forms_path => c:\oracle.....\ ;c:\my_forms_di rectory

If you want to maximize your chances, first get certified in 8i, then write the delta exam to get certified in 9i also (it's only one more exam). You can become certified easily without buying any book or taking any class. Just use the manuals in tahiti.oracle.com (The Concepts, backups and Administration manuals are probably enough). Make sure to have Oracle at home to practice, and that should be enough. Look also on www.oraclenotes.com...
