Hello,

I've just installed a trial version of Personal Oracle 7 and Forms 4.5 on my PC, but I can't seem to connect to the database from within Forms 4.5 on the same machine.

I've set up a user and managed to connect from SQLPLUS and Navigator by leaving the the Connect String blank. I've been told I should be able to connect from Forms 4.5 in the same way, but when I try I get "ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to the destination".

What else do I need to set up?

Thanks in advance
