Is that they way you read this? The reason for my confusion is that the 10.1 OUI was *required* to install the 9.2.0.4 patch set. So, what happens when I try to install 9.2.0.6, whenever it appears? And patches to 10g? This alert is not giving me a warm fuzzy feeling. --- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
