Okay, it turns out that if a tnsnames.ora file has entries like
mysystem.lifetouch.com,
On a Win95 system you can enter "mysystem" and it works. On a W2K system, if
you enter "mysystem" you receive ORA-12154 could not resolve service name.
Instead you must enter "mysystem.lifetouch.com".
Very irritating on Friday afternoon.

On a Windows client installation, does anyone know what controls the
location of tnsnames.ora? Is it some registry variable? We have a Windows
install that can't seem to find its tnsnames.ora. Thanks.
