Tried the same configuration, XE and IAS on same machine, and I get THE SAME ERROR when I start SQLPLUS from the ias/bin directory, which seems to be default if no path is specified. Can you try to start sqlplus from the XE-bin directory (start a dos-box, cd until you're there and start sqlplus)? Received on Tue Nov 14 2006 - 10:54:26 CST
