I need to query on a date field on a forms 4.5 form. This is NOT a sql query. In a sql select its easy enough to to_char the date and trim the time portion. However, I cant seem to find any way to do it on a form so I can do an oracle "form query." The query always fails to find the date even...

I need to do a merge to word document from an access database which is actually a front end to an Oracle database. I created the word template with a link to my access query. I can pull up the template and request it to refresh the data. At my development workstation I then get the normal...
