Problem w/Personal Oracle 8i and Forms 6i

[ociruj]

Hi,

i installed personal 8i and forms/reports 6i on my pc... the problem is, when i try to connect to d database through forms/reports... an error occurred : TNS:could not resolve service name.. but when i tested the user using easy config, connection is successful,

what should i do?

Have you tested it with easy config located in Forms/Reports home? I think you have not. Each of Forms/Reports and 8i (or wider, each ORACLE_HOME) use their own sql*net settings (unless you force its sharing by specifying TNS_ADMIN environment/registry variable). This specific error means that tnsnames.ora file utilized by Forms/Reports doesn't contain an entry you're trying to use.
