Re: GPF in ora7win.dll

Terry, we're running PeopleSoft Payroll and HR using tools 3.13 and using SQL*Net V2.1 and it's working very well. You might want to confirm that you cannot move to SQL*Net V2.1 ( we had some problems with 2.0 ). Also can you serve sqlnet to your pc's from a file server instead of having it local to each pc? We do this and prevents us from installing/upgrading on literally thousands of PC's.

Also, I believe there's some problem with 7.1.6 ( we're getting ready to upgrade from 7.1.4 ) and the ora7win.dll. I remember something about PS telling us we had to do a rename of ora71win.dll to ora7win.dll to fix the problem. Don't do this without first checking with PeopleSoft because it may not be that simple but I do remember something along these lines is necessary under certain circumstances for 7.1.6 on AT&T boxes anyway.
