Re: Help, Newie!

            Thanks very much for your help. But when leave the host

empty. I encounter this error : - ORA 12560: TNS:protocol adapter

error. What must I do next??

           Thanks again for your patience and advice.

           Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

regards,
KB Lim
