BDE: Urgent help needed

Author	Message
Tom Masterso #1 / 4	BDE: Urgent help needed I am having a problem with the newest version of the BDE connecting to Oracle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I set up the database alias and everytime I try to connect I get two errors: 1. "unknown network error." Can anyone give an explanation on this error and what would cause it? I can't find any description of it in the online help. The error number is 11271. 2. "tns:could not resolve service name." This is an Oracle error and may be caused by the other error (or may be causing the other error). The service name is in the tnsnames.ora file and Oracle sqlplus has no problem connecting with it. The Oracle version is 7.3. Even pointers on where to look for solutions to this problem would be appreciated. Tom Masterson

Martijn Tonie #3 / 4	BDE: Urgent help needed Hi Tom, I hope you already made a BDE Alias - pointing to the right TNS name? Also, the TNS alias uses the right protocol?

Greg Lorrima #4 / 4	BDE: Urgent help needed We've had this problem as well. It may be associated with installing oracle 8i drivers. We discovered that a work around is to re-direct an existing oracle alias. the ones I redirect are example1 example2 etc. -- -- Greg Lorriman Handy, free utils at http://www.lorriman.demon.co.uk For tiny setups see http://inner-smile.com/dl_inf.htm and if you go for it then mention me.
