Hello,

Well, I believe that it just wants to use part of the Oracle 8.0.5 client, and during the install, you can direct the 8.0.5 files to a non-invasive folder. Having said that, you will have to modify your env path to put your 8i bin path ahead of the Designer bin path (unless of course, you like having DOS sessions open up other DOS sessions if/when you execute anything in DOS, and fun stuff like that). I went through this process about 3 months ago, and did not have 8.0.5, but rather 8.1.7 client on my PC (NT 4.0), so you should be able to do the same thing. I installed Designer to its own drive. You prob. will need to copy your tnsnames.ora down to Net80/admin under the Designer folder. I did not have to make any registry changes. Good luck!

Thank you,

We used ORACLE developer 6i on PC. The ORACLE Developer 6i use ORACLE 8.0.5

client. We don't have ORACLE 8.0.5 client. Does their has way to make ORACLE Developer 6i connect through 8i client?

Thanks.
