Hello newbie here... am trying to connect to Oracle Personal dition...( seemingly installed correctly..) through the Oracle 9.00.11.00 odbc driver.. No Go.......

Error messages ORA-12541 and 12560... I looked at docs could not interprit meanings.

TNS ... no listener basically. In Oracle "Net Manager" I cant even get the test to

work correctly... I get TNS:Protocol Adaptor Error.. error in fields or the server

may not be ready for a connection. I have tried numerous variations on all the
parameters that make sense to me (damn its hard sometimes being self tutoring :} )

as well as using passwords other than the defaults (scott tiger..) SQL* plus is working fine ..... and the MFC app that I wrote as a "querry tool" works fine with (I am ducking now lol) msaccess.... through odbc. Any suggestions help would be greatly appreciated!

thx in adavance motivated frustrated newbie D.Moore Received on Wed Jun 04 2003 - 10:22:47 CDT
