If you'd like for me to help you... I.need.the.entry.from.the.tnsnames.file
I cannot guess. I tried to give you an idea what to look for, but have no idea what you found, because you didn't tell me. if you send me the ENTIRE tnsnames.ora file, and tell me what system you're trying to connect to, I can tell you what the connection string should look like. I.also.need.to.know.what.version.of.WINDOWS.and.EXCEL.you.are.using.
