Hello All I saw some remarks about updating tnsnames on many desktops. Why would you have tnsnames in every machine? I put our client software on a central server, with the tnsnames. One update to the tnsnames in the server apply to all. Installing for a new PC is importing the registry entries and add two paths to the search list, done in two minutes.
