   When I attempt to run a form created with Oracle9i Forms Builder I receive a   
   dialog box asking for the following info:   
      
   User Name:   
   Password:   
   Database:   
      
   I obviously know my User Name and Password, and I assume that the value I   
   use for Database is the value found in the tnsnames.ora file (in my case,   
   ORCL). However, when I do this I receive the following error:   
      
   ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name   
      
   I do not receive this error when logging into SQL*Plus or entering my   
   username and password for Enterprise Manager Console, but those do not have   
   a Database: field to fill in and have a different Oracle Home directory,   
   which causes me to think that the problem is either the value I am entering   
   in the Database: field or some setting that I do not know of. I am using   
   Oracle9i Database Personal Edition and Oracle9i Developer Suite on Windows   
   XP Professional SP2. If any more information is necessary, let me know what   
   it is and how to find it (since I am new to database administration). Any   
   help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
