Thanks to all who replied!In the "when it rains, it pours" dept, I have been having VPN problems today and haven't been able to get back into the system, so I haven't been able to do any more with this problem. However, for posterity's sake let me address a few of the comments:
- I do have an Oracle password file, and I did try recreating it. Didn't help. - I saw the Metalink note that gives steps for trying to track down this problem. I went through them all and never found anything wrong.
There were a couple of other suggestions I can try, and I'm open to other ideas if anyone wants to toss anything else into the pot.
I'll follow up again after I've been able to experiment further. janine -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
