This is my code but it doesn't seem to do anything.  I am using Oracle 9i.  Any response or solution would be appreciated.

thanks

 

declare
 vc2FileName varchar2(255);
 
 directory_name VARCHAR2(255);
 file_name VARCHAR2(255);
 file_filter VARCHAR2(255);
  message VARCHAR2(255);
   dialog_type NUMBER;
 select_file BOOLEAN;

begin
 directory_name := 'F:viporacle3549-8Chapter8';
 
 vc2FileName := get_file_name(directory_name, dialog_type=>OPEN_FILE, select_file =>TRUE);
  read_image_file (vc2FileName, 'any', 'item.item_image');
 
end;

what is the developer version ( forms ) you are using
if your are using 9ids or 9ias the get_file_name will open the dialog box in the server and not on the client
machine, use java beans instead to show open dialog.
