i ran into issues with this last year in 6i forms/reports without 9iAS. I cant remember for certain if it was exactly the same thing, but I believe the problem had to do with the alias of my report server. Certain characters could not be viewed. IT was an undocumented 'feature'. I cannot remember for certain. though there was material on metalink about it.

also go to www.fatcity.com and sign up for the ODTUG Developer listserv. This is more of a backend forum so you may get better answers there.
