Oracle Forms

We use forms 6i for all development. We do not develop at all in 9iAS or 10gAS. However we have some clients who use the application server, in which case we take the 6i form, convert to 10gAS form, and recompile.

In one form we have the following code:

IF get_application_property(user_interface) = 'WEB' THEN
web.show_document(<location>l, '_blank');
ELSE
host( 'cmd /C start /W '||<location>);
END IF;

The host command works fine in the client/server environment, and opens up the relevant directory on the local PC. But the webutil command does not work. I need some way of doing the same as the host command i.e. to open a folder/directory from the local PC. I heard there was an addon or something for webutil to allow to run in 6i. Either this, or any way of opening the folder.

Thanks.
