	| Before  using this  approach  make sure that you  tnsnames.ora files are well set. 
 i had a similar problem  too..especially  when  you  have  2 oracle  homes.
 
 i  set  the TNS_ADMIN in the registry  to  point  to the oracle  home  where the database  resides.
 
 i was  able  to  C:tnsping <database>
 but applications from my  oracle suite 10g was still not  connecting  to  database.
 
 so  i right clicked on each  program and clicked  on properties .. the start in  text  box..
 i  made  it  point  to the oracle  home which  had  the  database..that solved the problem for all the  applications in the suite.
 
 And surprisingly  that solved the puzzle
