Thanks. If I put the two files into the sqlnet installer folder, will the installer automatically put both files where they belong so that at the end of installation the client will be prepared to work immediately without any configuration? I've found the location of the two files in the installer folder already. BTW, this is with the version 7 & 8 client installer.

Thanks again. Received on Mon Jul 26 2004 - 23:07:20 CDT
