Re: Oracle 8, Forms 4.5 and Forms 5 connection problems

Try this.

[Quoted] Installing Personal Oracle 8.0x:

When you install PO8 you have to install 'Oracle Networking Products 2.3.4.0.2'. This option includes 'SQL*Net 2.3.4.0.2' and the 'Oracle Protocol Adapters' (Named Pipes, SPX & TCP/IP). At the end you should have installed SQL*Net 8.0.x & 2.3.4.0.2 and Oracle Protocol Adapters 8.0.x & 2.3.4.0.0.

Installing Developer 2.1:

SQL*Net is still installed and therefore it will not be installed when you p.e. install FORMS 5 (the SQL*Net-version on the Developer-CD is an older version). You shouldn't install SQL*Net yourself!!

Now you should be able to connect from Developer 2.1 (FORMS 5, REPORTS 3, SQL*Plus 3.3) to the Oracle 8-database
