Truth is kewl! No need to apologise ;-)
 I realise now that, for isqlplus you need httpd running, which is not gonna happen in the current environment. I got things working with odbc and excel - great for the moment - however I am hankering after the toad kissing Oracle developer, I have toad V7 available only.
I have downloaded some 70MB of docs to figure it out. It seems you need a repository - not quite sure where it has to be created.
No chance of adding anything to the target server Solaris 9 with 9i. Do I need a local install of, say, 10G on the MS box where the Developer stuff would be - it has lotsa grunt: CPU and RAM. 2 questions really how to get the Developer installed in overview and what would the licensing implications be? Expensive perhaps?

Thanks again for your help!
