Hi, guys.

I need to find current value of ORACLE_HOME on the client from VB program, running on that client. I understand that it is in the registry somewhere. I have 2 client installations - one is 8.1.7 and another is 9 on the same client. Apparently EM from 9 installation knows that needed tsnames.ora is in 9 ORACLE_HOME and 8.1.7 EM knows that tsnames.ora in 8.1.7. installation. And my VB program select tsnames.ora from 8.1.7 installation

Any ideas?
