Database dropdown list empty

[Hans Erik Busk]

After upgrading from 9.2 to vers. 10G and dropping the Ora92 directory, the dropdown box for database in the logon dialog is empty. I hove no problem logging on though. The same goes for my Direct Oracle Acces.
I have of course double checked the tnsnames.ora file in all Oracle homes (including ORANT where Forms6i finds its information), and a search in the registry and .ini-files didn't help.
I have tried to restore the Ora92- network - admin directory with the proper files. It helped at first, but after a windows logoff/on the problem returned.
Where else could information about databases be stored??

My setup is Win2K
PL/SQL Developer
Version 6.0.3.893 (MBCS)
Direct Oracle Access 4

Oracle database 10G(10.01.3), forms and reports developer (6i)
all on same computer.

hi,
- checkup the registry or better the Oracle Home selector which oracle home is active.
- have you set TNS_ADMIN to the non-existing 9iR2 Home?

Thank you for the suggestions, but TNS_ADMIN points to the new home's directory, and the active home is ORANT whith forms6i files. Both places contains valid tnsnames.ora files.
Strange thing is that PL/SQLdeveloper connects fine, given the rigth database name.

Maybe you are using Oracle Names? If not, can you go to Help > support Info, press the 'Copy all pages' button on this info screen, and paste this text into an e-mail reply?

Did this ever get resolved ? We have the same issue, in that we use TNS_ADMIN env variable, and the drop-down box for Database is blank.
