If I run the application alone, it executes correctly. How do I get around the problem? Answer: Borland has determined that this is a problem with SQL NET 2.3.3. Oracle also recognizes this as a SQL NET problem. There are a couple of workarounds: Rename or remove the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\OTRACE73 This is the solution that Oracle support recommends! Start Oracle's Installer and remove the "Oracle Trace collection Serveces 7.3.3.x.x" Turn off Integrated Debugging in Delphi's IDE Use an Oracle SQL NET that is older than 2.3.3 7/15/98 3:23:06 PM
