Re: TOAD free gives OCi dll error in Sql*Net 9i

What I have done is I have two Oracle home's (Oracle9 and Oracle 8.1.7). Oracle9i client is the main environment, for toad I have created *.bat file to prepend the PATH variable with Oracle8 client home /bin -directory. Then just make the sortcut to this *.bat file

An example:

toad.bat:

PATH=c:\oracle\ora8\bin;%PATH%
c:\apps\toad\toad.exe

This works for me and am still able to use the Oracle9 client as my main environment.
