Hello everyone,

I'm sorry but I have to ask this question again. I realise that this thread was raised a while back but I can't seem to get it going.

So the question is, if I've got multiple versions of Oracle installed on my Windows 95 and WinNT, how do I go about pointing to just the one single set of TNSNAMES.ORA and SQL*NET.ORA? I've tried setting a string variable (TNS_ADMIN and TNSADMIN) in various parts of the registry to no avail. Places I've tried, starting from and including HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | ORACLE:

misc_reg_entries
ORACLE_HOMES
ALL_HOMES

Second question is: will all other tools like ODBC, TOAD, etc pick up this new variable? Or will they still look for them in %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin? or %ORACLE_HOME%/net80/admin

TIA,
> Leng.
