Patrick Flahan 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 Pro wrote in message news:7bjglo$m72$1@news6.svr.pol.co.uk... >Heeeeeelp, > >I have Win98 and have installed PO8.0.4 which worked fine.
