Re: Developer 1.3.2 and 2.1 in same PC Oracle Home?

Yup, the NT batch/script file is the method we use...I works a treat, even using forms with windows stuff like OLE2!

We can run 1.3.2 and 2.1 simultaneously with different oracle homes...

What is really cool is that there is *absolutely no client installation* apart from an icon that points to this batch file which sits on the network and runs the tools on the network. We even set the PATH env. var to point to a network dir that contains the required dlls that normally go in your winnt\system and system32 dirs

If you require more info. please contact me at
