Successful access to the Database from sqlplus from an ORACLE_HOME other than the Forms ORACLE_HOME is possible.

Oracle 11g Forms builder cannot connect to the database.

For example:

In Windows "Start" --> go to "Oracle Classic Instance - <Instance Name>" ---> "Developer Tools" - Select "Forms Builder"

In Forms builder, select "File" --> "Connect"

In the connect pop-box, enter the same user name, password and database name which was used previously in sqlplus as follows:

User name: xxxx

Password: xxxx

Database: xxxx
