I am using Oracle Forms Builder 6i. When you open it, in the navigator tree:

- Forms \ - MODULE \ - Reports

I want to know what is the purpose of REPORT section in the Forms Builder.

Well appricate if one reply quick.

Regards,
Azam Khan

Did you try to navigate to "Reports", push the green "+" button and, while in a newly opened window, click "Help"?

Have you tried the obvious thing of typing report into form builder help search?
There's a topic called report object.

Yeah, and the details are:

"This object represents a report module that is built using the Oracle Report Builder."

Not sufficient information.

Have you looking the form builder manuals available on-line?

It appears to exist to attach oracle reports to oracle forms, which is unecessary.
It's probably a left-over from a much earlier version of forms that was never removed due to compatability issues.

Anyway: if it is already there and you click a green "+" sign and try to add a report, fill in the values and push the OK button, I suppose that Reports Builder is going to open and allow you to create a new report. Did you try it? I suppose not (but can't figure out why not).
