In Forms6i:
- I have created a form and a menu, how do I link the
menu to the form?

- When I put the code for a menu item:
RUN_PRODUCT(FORMS, 'employee', SYNCHORONOUS,
FILESYSTEM, RUNTIME, NULL, NULL).

returns the error:
Too many declarations for this match .... .. what is this?


Thanks in Advance.

1 question : "how do I link the menu to the form? "

Menu (and menu designer) integtated with Form
You have a vouple of ways to link both.
a)
main way - in Oracle Form Designer choose
FILE -- NEW -- MENU and build mrnu as you need
b)
in FORM (where place form name) -- property palette --
change " DEFAULT&SMARTBAR " to yuor menu module name.

Also you can link form and menu modules in run time use form API.

This is your statment --
RUN_PRODUCT(FORMS, 'employee', SYNCHORONOUS,
FILESYSTEM, RUNTIME, NULL, NULL).
Try this -->
Run_Product(FORMS, 'employee', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, '', '');

I had done already what you told me, i get the error:
FRM-10221: Cannot read the file MENUTEST

my menu is called menutest, it's saved. the forms too.
I just changed default%smartbar for this.

tks in advance.

What is your working (current) directory. I thing u have this problem.

u can check it -- type full path to your menu module file
(for exm. c:\project\menu\MENUTEST).

Thank you very much, it worked. I hadn't put the complete
path. But .... I got another error. When I put that command
the way you told me: Run_Product(FORMS, 'employee', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, '', '');

.....it worked, compiled sucessfully, but when I run
and click on it, I get the error: FRM-440010: cannot read from employee

What is it now? And, my you explain me please why when I put '', '' it works and when I put 'null, null', it doesn't?

Thank you so much.

Probably this is internal Developer problem with datatype convertions.
when u typed '', '' - u say oracle - datatype is string, it's my mind.
