What kind of Oracle form? There are at least 2 that I'm aware of. 1) The Oracle Forms thick client app framework which runs on a PC and connects to the database server. (I believe this is now obsolescent and no longer supported by Oracle?) 2) Web Forms built using the Oracle web server framework In either case it is usually better to access the database directly from Python rather than trying to write data into the GUI. The only case where the latter would be needed is if the Forms client implemented some kind of data processing prior to sending the data to the sever. If that is the case you can try the usual screen or web scraping options. But they are always messy and unreliable so should be a last resort. Check that there isn't an API you can use first. Also the OS and Python version may make a difference so let us know exactly what you need to do. Finally, there are literally dozens of other Oracle applications that all have forms interfaces (HR, CRM, ERM, Workflow, Middleware, Financials, Java, etc etc). So if it's not the database product you need to tell us that too. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
