Jared,
You may have just earned yourself a dinner. (And I
promise you will not receive it the way you did my
$0.02 recently ;-)
Can you tell me more...alot more would be grand...about
how Forms needs tnsnames?
*thanks*
Ross

|| Somewhat of a pain to setup for the first time, for sure.
||
|| But after you get it implemented, you will never want to
|| go back.
||
|| One caveat: There is a fair amount of software around
|| that *requires* tnsnames.ora or it won't work. Oracle
|| Forms on unix comes to mind. Yes, Oracle's own software
|| does not fully utilize names.
||
|| This is a minor problem when compared to the benefits though.
