Thanks for all the hints. I do still have a problem, though. I am getting ORA-012560 - TNS:protocol adaptor error From my experience on UNIX, I had a registry entry TNS_ADMIN which contained the path of tnsnames.ora. I don't see any registry or NT environment variables on the server or client which performs the same function. I've added both and re-tried but I still receive the same message. I don't have Oracle installed on my client. Do I need to have NET8 installed locally? Remember I can run sqlplus from the cmd prompt and sqlplusw from a shortcut mapped to the server without any problems. Thanks again for all the help.
