ryan, i had the same complaint about not finding the tnsnames file. i didn't have my TNS_ADMIN env variable set on my windows laptop. once i set it, it found the tnsnames file and i was able to select which alias to use. i would've expected it to be a bit more intuitive within the application, rather having to set an env variable. haroon ---- Original message ---- >Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 11:42:01 -0500 >From: "Ryan" <ryan_gaffuri@xxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: Re: Project Raptor early adapter version released >To: "Oracle Discussion List" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > looks like its based off of jdeveloper code.
