I had it working a couple of days ago, but have had a hard drive crash & a rebuild since then, and can't figure it out this time. Here is the *.tab file that I have (that doesn't work - comes out with an ORA-12514 error - TNS:Listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor. Unable to open table My_data.). Note that I am running MI on the same machine as the Oracle database. !table !version 500 !charset WindowsLatin1 Definition Table Type ODBC begin_metadata "\IsReadOnly" = "FALSE" "\DATALINK" = "" "\DATALINK\Query" = "Select * From ""SYSTEM"".""MY_DATA""" "\DATALINK\ConnectionString" = "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};UID=SYSTEM;SERVER=127.0.0.1" "\DATALINK\ToolKit" = "ODBC" "\CACHE" = "OFF" "\MBRSEARCH" = "ON" end_metadata Thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l ***This Email, together with any attachments is intended for the addressee only.
