Introduction
FormDevelopment process for Oracle Applications is similar to the D2K forms development. For Apps Forms need to maintain apps standards for all the form components for functionality and look and feel. All custom forms development starts with the TEMPLATE.fmb and APPSTAND.fmb files. Oracle Applications forms use the following container Objects: Modules Windows Canvases Blocks Regions
