Them's fightin' words round here :) Anyway, a couple questions to ask you about your installation before we can get this squared away. Oracle and php (either odbc or oci8) are very finicky at the moment. 1) What version of Oracle client to you have installed on your web server? 2) Where is your ORACLE_HOME directory located (local drive vs. network drive)? 3) If you're using Oracle 8.1.6 client on your computer, how is your database connection defined (what does your tnsnames.ora file look like - you can blank out any server-sensitive information, just need to see structure)? Let me know what you've got. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
