Developer 2000 v 2.1 is an Oracle 7.x based tool (Developer 6 doesnt change this I dont believe)

You can copy your TNSNAMES.ORA file from the orant\net80\admin to the network\admin directory and that should take care of connection issues.

There are other ways of accomplishing this with either a TNS_ADMIN environment variable (NT) or a registry entry of the same name set to the directory you want to use for your TNSNAMES

Eliminate TNSNAMES as a problem first.

Hope this helps
