Sounds like the export was created with a later version of the utility (i.e. the exp was done with a 9i version of exp, and you're using an 8i version of imp.). The other possibility is that the dmp file is corrupt, but I would check with the person who did the export first. Received on Fri Jan 24 2003 - 22:05:24 CET
