Hi Chuck,

I'm a bit puzzled by your double '\\' in the registry entrries - are you a C programmer by any chance ?
In my registry (home0, home1 etc) I do not have '\\' only '\' and it 'just works' for me.

HTH Cheers,
Norm.

Since I didn't want to have to put it in multiple places in the registry I
did it as a system environment variable. It's ignoring it. I also tried it
in HKLM\Software\Oracle. It used to work there but doesn't any more. I just
tried it in each HKLM\Software\Oracle\Home<n> and it's still ignoring all
of them.

Here's my environment variable...
TNS_ADMIN=d:\oracle\ora920\network\admin

Here's my registry keys...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0]
"TNS_ADMIN"="d:\\oracle\\ora920\\network\\admin"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME1]
"TNS_ADMIN"="d:\\oracle\\ora920\\network\\admin"

The only home that succesfully finds the tns_admin directory is home2 which
is the one who's oracle home directory is d:\oracle\ora920. Received on Thu Jul 31 2003 - 03:44:00 CDT
