make sure you also copy a good sqlnet.ora file. This file has you default domain, etc.

I don't work with Oracle Reports but one of my co-workers does. His problem --- TNS can't find the database.

He has three Oracle homes. I've copied the good tnsnames.ora to all of his homes (I know about the NETWORK and NET80 directories).

It's Report 6i on a Win2K machine trying to connect to an 8.1.6 Oracle.

He has Reports 6i installed on two of his Oracle homes and Reports 6.0 on the other. Don't ask me why --- I don't know.

I used the Oracle home changer and cycled through all 3 homes.

The error is ORA-12154: TNS could not resolve service name.

Is there anything "special" about having multiple copies of Reports on Win2K?

Thanks (IA)
