I have a working installation of Oracle8i Personal Edition (can access local database in SQL) but receive error when attempting to connect thru Oracle Forms Builder (regardless of the user/password attempted).

Error :
TNS name server can not be resolved.

Make sure your c:\orawin95 (or orant)\network\admin\tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora are configured correctly.

File tnsname for configurarion connect (Oracle net) from Oracle Forms 6i to OracleDB
in Oracle_home\Net80\ (C:\Orawin95\Net80\Admin)
But default for connect of DB Oracle8i in Oracle_home\Network\Admin
This cause, You have to configurarion connect by SQL Net8 easy config of CD developer6i
for connect to DB8i.
When you use sqlplus in Oracle pesonal 8i, you can connect to the DB not by network but with
Oracle Forms 6i have to connect to Oracle pesonal 8i by Oracle net.
