Re: Oracle 8.1.7 Client problem when using the command prompt

Louise,

I think You may have a problem to work with a 8.1.7 Client against a 8.0.5 Server.
I would suggest You to intall a 8.0.7 Client instead. But I am not sure...I only had environments where both client and server had the same versions.
