I am unsure whether a 7.3.4 client can talk to a 8.1.7 database. It just *might*. I think I have a customer where there are database links between a 7.3 database who survives because of unmigratable Forms 3 applications and a prodction 8.1.7 database. In which case you should export across SQL*Net with the 7.3.4 exp. Otherwise try to regenerate what you can of the SQL from the .dmp file (with INDEXFILE= to get CREATE TABLE and CREATE INDEX statements, SHOW=Y and a lot of manual editing for the rest - unless you can find a perl tool to help), dump to flat files and use SQL*Loader.
