Oracle Forms 6i - Need to popup the Browse window, select a file location and execute it.

Hi All,

I am using Oracle Forms 6i -
I need to popup the Browse file location window, select a file name and location and set it in a text item of a form, save the form to the database.
Then, in another form pull the file name and location from the database and execute it.
Example: "C:\XYZ\Training\xyztraining.pdf"

End result, from a form, I select a topic that has the filename and location of a PDF file, I dbl-click it and it opens in Adobe Reader, or a Word, Excel spreadsheet, just opens for viewing. I read the doc, close it and go back to the form.

Thanks, Bill
