hi i am trying to create an ODBC connection from DS server on windows 2003 to an oracle database on win XP. i keep on getting the error ORA-01017: invalid username/password: Logon denied. But with the same id and password i am able to login through sqlplus. Any suggestions here?

Thanks

Check if the DSN name you are using actually points to the Database you want to run your SQLS from.

Hi Kiran

I think you are using downloaded version of Oracle 9i/10G from Oracle website. That makes TNS problems;
you have to correct the TNSname.ora File :idea:

Then you can access your UVrep and load the data.

if you have oracle client, then why are you doing ODBC?

Have you added the DSN in your datasources. You can check that in:

start==>control panel==>administrative tools ==>Data sources
