Re: 8I Client - Multi Application access

Fred,

[Quoted] Sorry for the vague question. The workstation is Windows 2000 Pro. We have [Quoted] two separate applications that login to two different 8i db's, on separate servers. The issue is each application installs its own 8.1.7 client. When [Quoted] installed, the installation continues to disable the other applications ability to access its database. To me, being a novice, it appears the registry entries are getting changed to work with the installation that was [Quoted] just completed. I merged tnsnames.ora, but it did not help.
