Hi I have still not managed to get any further with connecting to make
reports. Nor have I been able to find the Sqlnet configuration wizard.
Perhaps it is on my computer with a different name. Is there default
settings I could use? I aready use system as user and manager as password
and orac as host string. These do not allow access to report builder. I get
an error message
REP-0501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name any further suggestions? Received on Fri Mar 12 2004 - 20:43:15 CET
