Hi,
I am using Forms 6i. I created initial login forms and I created a form for changing the password whenever the user desires. It works fine. Also I can able to trap errors like password expired. Is there any way I can invoke default Oracle change password screen when the password expires. I read someone’s code in Pro C to change password by accessing the database with expired password and the command used in Pro C is as below.
EXEC SQL CONNECT :user IDENTIFIED BY :oldpass USING :connectstr ALTER AUTHORIZATION :newpass
Is there any way without using Pro C. I appreciate in advance for your help.

Hi Subhash,
Thanks for your reply. But my situation is dealing with expired passwords. You said about the change of password. To change password we can use "ALTER USER username IDENTIFIED BY newpassword". But for expired password we need to login to Oracle to use "CONNECT username IDENTIFIED BY oldpassword USING connectstring ALTER AUTHORIZATION newpassword". To go with this we need to write a Pro*C procedure. I know this one, but I don't know how to write and where to compile this one. I am looking for alternative. In this situation, at SQL*Plus, we will get a dialogue box prompting for oldpassword, newpassword and retypenewpassword. I am looking for how can we get this dialogue box in Forms. If not any other solution other than writting code in PRO*C as I don't know where & how to write PRO*C. Please help me.
