I'm using Oracle 8i ver 8.0.4 in windows NT4.0

When I installed both the Developer Forms 6i and Oracle enterprise 8i in the same computer in windows NT 4.0, I can use the runtime forms to execute a compiled form.

The parameters I provided to the form runtime are just: user: id1
password: psw1

In this case Oracle_HOME is the same for both.

My problem is when They are in different computers how can I access the remote database from the client computer where the Developer Forms 6i is installed.

when I use "service1" with SQLPLUS, I can see the remote database, but.

Using these parameters:
user: id1
password: psw1
database: remotecompuer_at_ORCL
service: service1

I can not get a connection is telling me TSN: could not resolve the service.

I've tried diferent combinations for these two parameters but none of then worked.

database: ORCL
service: service1

Is this an installation problem.?
Should I install the form in the server together with the db and call it from the client.?

Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks.
