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.
