Guys,

I have this problem which confuses me.

I am able to connect to the 10g database with TOAD but when I try to connect to the database through command prompt or from forms or reports it says 'unable to connect'.

I assume this has something to do with sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora file but not very sure

Thanks in advance

It is likely the reason but without more information than "unable to connect" it is impossible to say.

Regards
Michel

It seems that you have (and use) more than one copy of TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA files.

A problem you have can (usually) be resolved by copying these files from \network\admin directory of a product that enables you to connect to the database (it is usually directory into which you have installed Oracle database) into \network\admin directory of the Developer Suite (which contains Forms and Reports Builders).

However, as such an approach requires you to maintain multiple copies of these files, I'd suggest you to use only one copy. You might point to this directory by setting the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
