we have these oracle developer 2000 forms (in .fmx format) in a server and the data of these forms in another server.... the server with the data is very old and is very slow...so we decided to relocate the database(oracle 9i) to a new server..... also, we move the developer 2000 forms from the old server to another server which will serve as the front end to the new data server.
The problem is we can't figure out how to make the developer 2000 forms on the new front end server to point to the new database on the new data server. I would really appreciate if u cud gimme some advice on this.... so we need to know how the forms find the data, where this "connection string" is for developer 2000 forms.
m new to this stuff and really need some help...

Thanks in advance!!!

There should be no difference; the only information that (probably) has changed is a (new) database alias. It is - in your version - stored in TNSNAMES.ORA file on every client computer. So, you'll have to modify these files and add a new 9i database in there.

Unless I got it wrong, of course.
