Hi Joe,
It is most unlikely you can connect using sql*plus and can't connect using
Forms. Without knowing the exact error message, it will be very difficult
to resolve this. The current network software is Net8, sqlnet is supposed
to work with O7 databases only.
Yes, Oracle changed the way PO is working, which is only lucky because in
the past PO couldn't coexist with a regular client, because of the
different networking software (which was there, but you didn't need to
bother about).
Hth,
