Re: Stand-Alone Rookie

[Quoted] Hi Arthur,

as you characterize yourself as a rookie, I take a shot in the dark: have you
installed a database? The Developer Suite alone won't help. My other guess is: your actual home doesn't point to the Developer's home when you try to connect.

Apologies if I missed the target ;-)

Greetings,
Guido
