Laurenz,

thank you for your spelling lesson.

[Quoted] If you read my response, I have tried , it did not work. I wanted to know if anyone had been successful, and why might it not work.

I will try Oracle support also, but I can if I wish post here and might get a response from someone who has tried and who might be helpful. Thank you for your suggestion but instant client is no good to me. The 3rd party application requires more , I have tested that.

thank you again for your assistance Received on Thu Jun 01 2006 - 11:19:38 CEST
