Thanks for your help! I will definitely try that later today! :D
It's really nice to have a full team of people helping me out when I am in
a "confused" phrase.
And I really do hope that there is not any "I know it's off-topic, but I
just couldn't resist ......" spam over there.
I use my delete keys a lot more frequent than before.... (it is only my
opinion. I am not starting any war here..)
:P

Hi, Winnie,
How did you find the file# to be 9 (unless you messed with your original
error
message)?
I suggest you post your message to news:comp.databases.oracle.server (or
http://news.interbulletin.com/cgi-bin/ibwrn/post/comp.databases.oracle.server
if your company doesn't have a news server). Hopefully it will attract
attention of Jonathan Lewis, the Oracle 8i expert, and several (former)
Oracle
employees such as Kyle Hailey, Howard Rogers and Anjo Kolk. The good thing
about that newsgroup is nobody is audacious enough to post spam messages
like
"tomorrow I'll post the chocolate recipe here".
