Database Export Error

Henry,

I get the impression that you are using the 'interactive' method of import on what appears to be an NT box (server or PC). If this was a Unix server, I'd be looking to see whether my ORACLE_SID environment variable was correctly set.

Alternatively, when prompted for the username, I would be entering something like system/password_at_SID where SID is the correct one for the database I wish to export.

HTH. Regards,
Norman.
