Hallo,

I just made myself a Windows Vista Home Premium PC, installed Oracle DS 10g
(newest version) and I am unable to connect to the Oracle 10g (10.1.0.2.0)
on my Linux server. The connection works fine from my older Oracle DS 10g
installation on my Windows XP SP2 and Hotfixes PC. What is wrong?

Thank you for helping,

Not going to happen, if at all, in a supported fashion. Get yourself
a "real" operating system. I'd recommend Oracle Linux.

Now - that's a remote connection. Hopefully, you have
an Oracle client install, that has a tnsnames.ora file,
containing this "skier3" as an alias, that points
to your linux machine.

Hmmm - looks like you have an odd environment setting;
perhaps language or character set?

Yesterday a found an Oracle Client installation for windows Vista. I can now
connect to the database with sqlplus.
File: 10203_client_vista.zip

I can only assume that anything before Windows vista won't work.

Also available is Oracle Data Access Components ODAC which I also installed
into the Oracle client for windows vista installation (for office 2007
installations), according to instructions.
ODAC1020221.exe

But I still can't use Oracle Forms Developer. There doesn't appear to be
anything available yet.

Cheers,
Peter BUSS
