Re: Connecting BDE To Oracle 8.1

I set the OracleHome in my autoexec.bat and rebooted.  I still get the same error.
I've deleted my Oracle BDE definition and defined a new one from scratch.  Still get
the same error.

One thing I noticed is that when I click on the down arrow next to the SERVER NAME
field, I receive the error message, "Invalid Filename".  Is there something else that
needs to be set?

I have run out of things to try, and I don't know where to go from here.
