   Hello all,   
      
   I am trying to test an ODBC connection to an Oracle dbf using the ODBC Data   
   Source Administrator.   It's not working and I suspect I haven't configured   
   Oracle correctly.   Below is the error message I am getting:   
      
   [DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Driver]Invalid attribute in connection string:   
   Description.[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle]ORA-12514: TNS:listener   
   could not resolve SERVICE_NAME  given in connect descriptor   
      
   The connection string follows:   
      
   CONNECTIONSTRING = "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for   
   Oracle};Server=db.world;Uid=sa;Pwd=;"   
      
   I can't find "lsnrctl status" on my server.   This is 9i, does that count?   
      
   I am very new to Oracle and I don't know where to go to fix this.   Thanks   
   for your time,   
      
   Jake
