Hello:
Here's my configuration:
OS: Windows 7-64bit
Oracle DBMS: 11g
I am trying to connect to a 11g DB from within Access.
I launched the ODBC Administrator from c:\windows\syswow64 directory as an Administrator (which I undertstand is the 32-bit version). When I tried to set up a new DSN, I encountered two problems:
1. The TNS Service Name dropdown has a slew of entries with funny characters. However, it did not include my TNS Entry.
2. I manually entered my TNSName. It did ask me for the username and password. When I tested the connection, I got an error "ORA-12154"
Any help to resolve the issue will be much appreciated.
