Re: please help!!!!!! - ORA-07268

 What language is the app in? Are you using PRO*C or Visual basic with ODBC.?

What is the code doing the connect?

Without answers to these, there are too many possibilities for an answer, but in Pro*C is the statement
 exec sql connect :username/:password_at_ora_srv or something similar?
