Hi,

Thanks to those who replied.
The source database is from a Windows 2000 32-bit environment. The target database is a Windows 2003 64-bit environment. Both are 10.2.0.2.
I am trying to copy a database backup from February 2010; Hence I have access to the source
database as it now stands (The Win2000 environment still exists), but not to the data that I am
trying to copy (Other than the backup).

If it were a matter of copying the current database from Win 2000 32- bit to Win2003 64-bit, I
would likely use an export/import.

Thanks,
