Hi
[Quoted] [Quoted] I would be grateful for some urgent help with a problem I have encountered with attempting to run the SQL Plus utility from the command prompt on a Windows 2000 platform PC with Oracle 8.1.7 Client installed. I receive the message "TNS protocol adapter error" when I type

    sqlplus scott/tiger

If I type this line at the command prompt on the 8.0.5 server the login succeeds. This login succeeds from the SQL Plus utility on the client PC!
I need to be able to log in from the command prompt on the client PC so I can call the SQL Loader utility using a shell call from a VB application.
Thanks in advance
