I have a need to discover what the Oracle errors are. i.e. When Oracle returns ORA-##### I want to be able to type in the number and receive the text of what the error is. In AIX there is the oerr command. I need the same functionality in NT 4.0.

I have no books and am supporting 90 installations of Oracle, most are running on NT 4.0. Many times my users are calling our help desk just to find out what the error message means. I think there may be a lookup table but just don't know where it is or how to access it.

Thanks,
Ron Lendon
