    ODBC to Oracle Question

    Hi All,

    I am new at Oracle, so bear with me.

    I have installed InstantClient_1 0_2 and installed the Oracle10.2 drivers on my computer. I am trying to establish the ODBC Connection. Here are the steps I am taking.

    1. Go to Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) > System DNS Tab
    2. Click Add... and select the "Oracle in Instantclient_1 0_2" driver

    Then I try to set up my DNS. I get an error message. The DBA gave me this script as the TNS:

    XXX.CLIENTNAME. COM =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =xxxxx.clientna me.com)(PORT = ####))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = xxxxxx.clientna me.com)
    )
    )

    See the screenshots below for my setup and error message I receive.

    Could someone help me out with how to correctly configure the ODBC connection into Oracle. Thanks.
