  • I'm not able to see the picture you attached but I suppose tihs is the same problem with this [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55140696/dialog-box-not-open-with-get-file-name-oracle-forms/55149706#55149706) – Barbaros Özhan Mar 22 '19 at 08:01
  • The same problem is mentioned in the link but there is no solution, –  Mar 22 '19 at 09:12
  • version `6` was client-server based, whereas `10` is not. You have an extra tier(`application server`) for this.So the proper configuration for app. server and adding `.olb` and `.pll` for `webutil` is needed. As a starting point, Are you sure that you remove the path during the attachment of `webutil.pll` library ? – Barbaros Özhan Mar 22 '19 at 09:49

As pointed by Barbaros, you'll have to use Webutil to access client tiers (cause after 6i you have the application server layer, you are no more in client-server mode). Check the client_get_file_name procedure from the webutil package, there is lot of documentation available on how to use webutil but that's another subject.
