I can't connect a database in the Form Builder. It seems that I need to copy tnsnames.ora to form's home. but what does it look like, if it's a local machine? It's not connected to anywhere.

tnsnames is the file you need to edit.
if you have problems with it, use net*8 configuration assistent to configure the service name
you need to know the following informat.
hostname/ip number
dbname
port number (default is 1521).
else
send me the above informationtnsames file
i will create the tnsnames.ora entry

hello!
i just created a serivice name for a databse&client in the same machine.
gave host=LOCALHOST.
it works fine for me.
so, u just find your dbname and use something like this!!

MAGVIVEK =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = magvivek)
    )
  )

magvivek=dbname
i jave created the servicename and dbname to be as magvivek.

Hi Mahesh,

Thank you for all your help. I tried all your suggestions, including using the sample tnsnames file you so kindly provided without any luck. I kept getting th same messages that Oracle could not connect me to the database. I am beginning to wonder if there may be problems with the software I have on hand.
