Re: Forms 4.5 with Personal Oracle 8

Thanks for the response, I'm getting closer. :-) When I attempt to start the listener using lsnrctl80.exe I get a "protocol adapter error".
Below is my listener.ora file. Looks okay to me, I guess. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help so far!

John

LISTENER =
  (ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS =


          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (Host = OEMComputer)


          (Port = 1521)


        )
        (ADDRESS =


          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (Host = 127.0.0.1)


          (Port = 1521)


        )
#        (ADDRESS =
#          (PROTOCOL = SPX)
#          (Service = OEMComputer_lsnr)
#        )
