[Quoted] Hi Guyd

Thanks for the help.

Still problem is not solved totally.

Now scenario is like this ....
I have 2 databases db1 and db2.
I need to connect to db1 using oracle forms 6i and to db2 using oracle 8i client.

  1. As you suggested i cleared up all registry entries related to oracel, removec all oracle directories from my hard disk.
  2. Then I installed oracle forms 6i which went thru smoothly and working fine.
  3. Now I try to use net8 assistant and i get the same memory acces error i got earllier.
  4. I checked the registry settings and they are as follows

ALL_HOMES :
  Default: (VALUE NOT SET)
  DEFAULT_HOME: DEFAULT_HOME
  HOME_COUNTER: 2
  LAST HOME: 1 Under ALL_HOMES i have home0 and home1
HOME0 is (value no set)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0] "ID"="0"

and HOME1 corresponds to my installation of oracle forms 6i which is installed in f:\orant directory

there is one more key called ORACLE_HOMES which is (value not set)

I guess the problem is that erlier registry cleanup was not good. ther shall have been only one "oracle home"

What shall i do now.....repeat the whole stuff again cleaning registry and all....
