Hello,

Yesterday I was called to check a connection problem on a server in which there were several Delphi applications, some written with BDE and some with DOA (all of them working with Oracle 10.2).
There was a connection problem with DOA applications only. Those written with BDE worked fine.
I solved this defining a ORACLE_HOME system level environment variable. My curiosity is: how does BDE work ? in the BDE settings I only see "oci.dll" in vendor init but there isn't a path.
Perhaps BDE checks the PATH variable ?
If so why doesn't DOA do the same ?
Just a curiosity .
Thanks in advance
Bye
Nicola
