The simplest way to find it is to go to ControlPanel/Service, and try to stop OracleService. It will show the dialog box with the name of "dependnet" service and ask for your confirmation to stop that service (as well as OracleService>). If you proceed, it'll stop both services. In the future, if you want to use oradim to stop oracle service, you will have first to stop dependent serice, using: Net stop and only then use oradim to stop oracle service.

This is Oracle 9.2 database on NT4.0. I've reviewed postings on Metalink but no answers were found. Anyone have an idea of something to try? I have stopped the services through the control panel and stopped the application which references the database. I don't find anything in the alert log. There is a trace log but that is like reading brail when you've never had too. Thanks,=20 Laura -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
