Hi Bill

I seem to recall having a similar problem some time ago, I played around and came up with the following which worked fine.

log_archive_dest = /oracle/archlog/LOG
log_archive_format = _%S_%t.dbf

This will provide you with logs with a file name of LOG_0000003810.dbf in the /oracle/archlog directory.

I think if you had put a / on the end of /oracle/archlog/ this may have worked but Im not sure.
