Another idea would be to set the SQLPATH variable in your registry (remember if you do this to TAKE A BACKUP OF THE REGISTRY FIRST).
First of all map the network drive (it looks like you already have anyway) so that it is assigned a drive letter (D:\ in your case), as you don't really want to use the absolute path.. Open regedit or regedt32, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Oracle/<ORACLE_HOME> and then either modify (if it is already there) or create a SQLPATH string, with a value of: D:\Oracle\Ora81\RDBMS\ADMIN\catalog.sql Maybe this will work? Mark -----Original Message----- Sent: 28 November 2001 16:23 To: 'Mark Leith' Mark: This was a typo and I tried it again and got the same error message. The absolute full path name is: My Network Places\Entire Network\Microsoft Windows Network\Tech net\Proteus\ Oracle\Ora81\RDMS\ADMIN\catalog.sql The server name is Proteus. I have run scripts to generate tablespaces referencing the D:\ drive and they worked OK. Any ideas?

Mark -----Original Message----- Sent: 28 November 2001 13:16 To: 'Mark Leith' Mark: This is what I have tried at the SQL*Plus prompt. nic13> @D:\Oracle\Ora81\RDMS\ADMIN\catalog.sql SP2-0310: unable to open file "D:\Oracle\Ora81\RDMS\ADMIN\catalog.sql" Still get the error. Would this have anything to do with Telnet working or not? My Telnet connection between my client PC and the server doesn't work.
