Also, the ar.conf is going to contain the oracle home directory. You also have to make sure that arserver is seeing the 10g libs before it sees the 9i libs; this is probably accomplished with the PATH.

Thanks for the quick reply. I pasted a copy of tnsnames.ora in the new 10g \Network\Admin folder, but am still getting the same error. tnsping shows the correct use of sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora, so that looks good. Not sure what to try next. rp On Feb 5, 12:13 pm, "Grooms, Frederick W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Usually each client has it's own tnsnames.ora file.
