Hi,
I am having a problem connecting to the DB. I get the ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connection identifier specified. This previously worked on my machine, but I had to get a new machine because my harddrive was dying. The only wrinkle is that they copied my profile from the old machine and put it on the new machine. So, while I still needed to re-install the software (because it was a fresh image), if you store any program related information in the Windows Profile, that could be the cause of the conflict.
I can connect using Oracle SQL developer, using the connection name from TNS, so I think it is something to do with this software installation specifically.
Below is the output of my about pages.
Thanks,
Ian
