Re: ORA804.dll not found error

In despair, I finally came up with the following work around, since nobody at Oracle was able to tell me how to fix this: I copied all the .dll files from my ORACLE_HOME/bin directory into my c:\WINNT\SYSTEM directory. Whatever application was looking for the files there seems to be satisfied now since I don't get any more error messages. Not a very satisfying fix, but it's the best I could come up with!
