Buttons are substituted with hyperlinks. If you open a report which was written in Reports Builder 6i that contains a button, this button will be displayed as an ordinary text item.

You might be interested in reading A Guide to Changed Functionality between Oracle Reports 6i and 10g available from the Oracle Technology Network.

first of all you need to compile the report in 10g report builder then you need to use run_report_objects instead of run_product in the form from which you are calling the report. i am sending you the example of that code

In the below code get_control_statuses is to get the path of report server to run which is saved in database.

/* Formatted on 2004/09/08 16:42 (Formatter Plus v4.8.5) */
PROCEDURE start_print(v_report VARCHAR2,v_county VARCHAR2)IS
pl_id PARAMLIST;
county VARCHAR2(60) := v_county;
report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep_job VARCHAR2(1000);
rep_status VARCHAR2(2000);
v_controlstrec CONTROL_STATUSES%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('reportname');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,v_report||'.rep');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_mtlwinas2_OraAS10gR2Inst1');

/*
** Check to see if the 'tmpdata' parameter list exists.
*/
pl_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST ('tmpdata');

/*
** If it does, then delete it before we create it again in
** case it contains parameters that are not useful for our
** purposes here.
*/
IF NOT ID_NULL (pl_id)
THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST (pl_id);
END IF;

/*
** Create the 'tmpdata' parameter list afresh.
*/
pl_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST ('tmpdata');
/*
*/
ADD_PARAMETER (pl_id, 'paramform', text_parameter, 'NO');
ADD_PARAMETER (pl_id, 'THE_COUNTY_CLAUSE', text_parameter, county);
ADD_PARAMETER (pl_id, 'P_REST_OF_TITLE', text_parameter, :params.rest_of_title);
ADD_PARAMETER (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter,'CACHE');

/*
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
*/

/*
RUN_PRODUCT (reports,
v_report,
synchronous,
runtime,
filesystem,
pl_id,
NULL
);
*/
v_rep_job := run_report_object(report_id,pl_id);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep_job);
IF NOT GET_CONTROL_STATUS (P_ID =>'rep_server',P_REC => V_CONTROLSTREC) THEN
MESSAGE('CANNOT FIND LOCATION OF REPORT PATH IN CONTROL STATUS PARAMETERS');PAUSE;
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep_job,instr(v_rep_job,'_',-1)+1),'_blank');
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
message(SQLERRM);pause;
END;

Amitmohangupta, you missed the question. Alwosaby is talking about a button in a report, NOT in a form. Your answer has nothing to do with the problem.
