Hello All

I saw some remarks about updating tnsnames on many desktops.
Why would you have tnsnames in every machine?
I put our client software on a central server, with the tnsnames.
One update to the tnsnames in the server apply to all.
Installing for a new PC is importing the registry entries
and add two paths to the search list, done in two minutes.
