Re: Problem connecting with Developer/Designer to Oracle 8 on NT

Hi,

Try the following solution :

First make sure that you can connect using SQL*PLUS 3.x to a Oracle 7.3.x database. If not than check the versions of Required support files and the SQL*NET drivers.

Once this is done, make sure that you start up the Listener appropriately.

Define a connect string using NET8 and make sure that the Test is fine i.e. you can connect appropriately.

Create a String value in the Registry under Oracle - called TNS_ADMIN and assign it the value ( OracleHome/NET80/ADMIN).

Restart Oracle.

This ensures that irrespective of what tool you use - the appropriate TNSNAMES.ora is used (the one under NET80/ADMIN).

This may solve your problem
