Not only is it not in the flaming manuals, I don't think you
can even do that on Windoze.
Sure, you can set the TNS_ADMIN var in
ControlPanel->System->EnvVars, but that is rather broad
in scope and does not offer the granularity available on unix.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
well the thing is, he wasn't looking for TNS_ADMIN since that just
re-sets the directory Oracle looks at but wanted something that worked
more like how login.sql works -- where if you have the file in your
local working directory, it is used and overrides any other file.
In Unix, if you have a .tnsnames.ora file (please note the initial ".")
in your own personal $HOME directory) it will override the values in
the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora or the
$TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file
THAT is what Joe wanted for Windows. It ain't in the flaming manuals.
