No, there was no system environment variable. That would have also been displayed using the SET command. Also, no Oracle_home was set.

Yes, it sounds like a 'system' environment variable. I navigate using the start button/settings/control panel/system/advanced tab/environment variables button/system variables section -- TNS_ADMIN

Robert,
Did you check the PATH environmental? Did it have the network drive in the path?

ORACLE_HOME does not need to be set.
TNS_ADMIN is an environmental variable.

Right-click "my computer"/properties/advanced/Environmental variables

Is the TNS_ADMIN a separate key outside of the oracle key in the registry. Going to look to see if it is set someone where else.

I also noticed I did not have the oracle_home variable set on that machine.

Check the registry settings for the oracle home in use. It is possible that there is a setting there, and if so, it will not show up when you use SET.

Cheers,
Norm.
