It does work, many people are doing it. On the other hand Designer/2000 is not supported on Windows 95 and Oracle are under no obligation to provide assistance. Version 1.3, (due soon) will be supported on Win 95. Then you might be justified in complaining if you have problems getting support.

Why should Oracle do unpaid support in this forum? They provide telephone support, their own website and a compuserve forum for people who pay for support.
