Hi,
Set the paths in Regsitry , so that you need not to harcode it.

E.g. You have icons in your menu & are stored in Directory say D:Icons.
So set the Registry as follows:
My Coputer --> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->Software
-->Oracle-->UI_ICON

Set the value of UI_ICON to D:Icons;

HTH

Hi,

Presently the D2k application is working for windows NT/2000 because i have hard coded the paths,as same
in registory editor.
I want the application itself should read the registory entry and invoke the apropriate forms programatically, based on the path.
In that case in need not to hardcode the genric path
