Found the solution from someone else on Oracle Tech Network but wanted to thank all those who replied. And give the solution.
I looked and there WAS a tnsnames in the directory "Oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/config"....BUT it was a sample one. Meaning there was no entry just comments showing you a sample version of a TNS Names entry. So I copied my entry from another TNSNAMES and put it in there and voila...I was able to connect.
Apparently that's the TNSNAMES.ora file in that directory that the Forms Server is looking for.
