FYI, I have logged a problem call with MS regarding this problem, but have yet to hear from them. As I am at a complete halt due to the problem I tried to whip up a quick interface with VB and when I connected to the Oracle database, it hung up. I tried again with C++, same results, and once more with InterDev, still the same result. All three of those tools are much easier than Oracles tools for working with the database. Now they will not work. I now suspect the problem could lie with the server the database was moved to last week.

Thanks for your help and advice. I'll keep you posted.
