ohhhhh boy, you're not going to be happy when I tell you this...
Oracle provides a TEMPLATE.fmb with its internet application server. Every custom form you develop MUST be built upon this TEMPLATE. If you fail to do this, much of the standard functionality of the application will be lost (meaning toolbar, color schemes, etc.) You will be able to run your form in the application, but you will experience a lot of difficulties if your form wasn't based on TEMPLATE. As far as I know, you have to put the form (.fmb file) in the schema directory you want on the server (this is typically a custom schema, but doesn't necessarily need to be) and you need to put the compiled form (.fmx) in your AU directory (which should be in the directory that holds the rest of the schema directories) As far as I know, this is all you need to do, but keep in mind you have to compile the .fmx on the SERVER side, not from your client.
You should be OK as far as versions go (from 8 -> 9) unless there is something specific in your SQL or your functions/procedures within the form that didn't exist in 8, but does in 9. I have a feeling that this should not be the case.
HTH,
Steve

Well, I'm not exactly sure of your directory structure but it would look something like this:
Server_Drive_Letter:\oracle_your_organization_name\your_organization_nameappl\
appl is for applications... this path should hold all schema directories and your AU directory. There should also be a Forms directory that holds all standard forms as well as TEMPLATE.fmb. As far as configuring these directories, I'm not sure, I am just a developer. If you continue to struggle with it, I might be able to talk to my DBA, but I do believe there is documentation that you can find on OTN (http://www.otn.oracle.com) that may be able to assist you. If you cannot find these directories, talk to your administrator as it may be a restricted area on your server. If you desparately need a copy of TEMPLATE.fmb, let me know and I'll email it you.
HTH,
Steve

Now coming to main problem....
I need your guidence about Oracle 9i Forms.
i have installed
-Oracle9i Developer Suite &
-Oracle9i Database on my computer at home
I have completed all installtion successfully.
I opened Forms Developer & connected with 9i Database.
It connected succesfully & when i try to run it
It gives me error as
TNS listener not available:start TNS listener or check your edit preference
So i went to Edit--> Preferences & on Runtime Tab
Location of Browser was given..by default it took port number 8888...
& in my TNSNames.ora listener was configured at port number 1521..so i tried to change port number but it did not succeded.
on my pc i have Windows XP installed.I created following folders & did installation...
C:\Oracle\ORA9iDB
C:\Oracle\ORA9iDS
Databse is running perfectly..but there is some problem in Forms developer.
So tell me how can i solve this problem...
