  Ed,

  Check the following entries in your Oracle.ini file

  NLS_LANG
  NLS_DATE_FORMAT
  NLSRTL32
  ORA_NLS32   In particular check to see if the NLSRTL32 and ORA_NLS32 parameters have the same directory structure that is in your Windows Explorer.

  For example:
  In your Oracle.ini file the two entries may show the following...   NLSRTL32=D:\ORAWIN\OLE2\NLSRTL32
  ORA_NLS32=D:\ORAWIN\OLE2\NLSRTL32\DATA   In your Windows Explorer you may have a different file structure. Possibly like this...   D:\ORAWIN\NLSRTL32
  D:\ORAWIN\NLSRTL32\DATA   In the registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE -> HOME<for Reports> the NLS_LANG parameter settings.

  Hope that helps somehow.

    Man, I have nothing but trouble with oracle reports. what a touchy system.

    we've not intentionally changed anything but obviously something has changed.

    Reports Builder and runtime now complain when we try to connect: ora-12705 invalid or unknown nls parameter

    Reports 6.0

    ora 8.1.6 running fine

    anyone have an idea what could have happened? Received on Thu Mar 07 2002 - 06:52:49 CST
