happy new year
check your database name that u can find it in database home ex. c:/database go into database home search for network folder
in it u can find folder call admin
in admin folder u found tnsnames.ora
its for database open it and see the name of database
ex.
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: E:\DATABASE\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = senergy)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
this is a sample of what u c in the folder the word up the line is the name of database write it down
then close the folder
and go to your forms home
open the home of forms and search for network folder
in it u can find the admin folder
in it u may found tnsnames.ora
if u didnt find it its ok
i wirte it here=====>
{name the forms servies as u wish }=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host ={your computer name} )
(Port = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID ={the name of your database})
this is what must be found in tnsnames.ora that be in forms home in network foder in admin folder
if didnt work send to me on my mail and i will post u document explain all that
