We have no problem moving OCI apps on Win 3.1, UNIX and Win/NT from one workstation to another running the same OS. SQL*NET needs to be properly installed. The biggest issue we run into is getting the connection strings properly setup especially if they are coded in a data file that moves with the application. Some workstations are setup for V1 of SQL*NET and others V2. The connection strings are not compatible.
