Getting TOAD working [message #22106]

I know this may seem like a stupid question to most of
you but, could anyone help with my setup of toad. I
have downloaded it and used the key to activate it.

But I keep getting the following error
====
"Initialization error
Could not locate OCI dll"
=====

I have toad.exe in the c:/toad directory.

Do I have to install oracle or something. I work for a
company and we have numerous databases, and I want to
view and edit my tables in my account.

So has anyone any ideas?

Yes, I'm pretty sure you need Oracle installed on the machice using Toad. I believe Toad uses the same TNSNAMES.ora file (among others) from Oracle to connect.

Yes you do need the ORACLE CLIENT in the same machine.

Assuming that you have Oracle client installed on your PC, you may need to find a suitable dll. Using advice from www.toadsoft.com/faq2.html, I copied binOraClient9.dll into the same directory and renamed it Ora72.dll. Then TOAD worked OK.
Cheers, John
