Hi<br />
<br />
I've checked the machines that work and they have NLS_LANG set as<br />
American_america.WE8ISO885<wbr />9P1<br />
<br />
A few that don't work have either nothing installed or <br />
American.america.WE8ISO885<wbr />9P1 &nbsp;(a dot instead of an underscore)<br />
<br />
Will try changing these tomorrow<br />

Hi

I've checked the machines that work and they have NLS_LANG set as
American_america.WE8ISO8859P1

A few that don't work have either nothing installed or
American.america.WE8ISO8859P1  (a dot instead of an underscore)

Will try changing these tomorrow


<div>
I've sorted it<br />
<br />
They have three lots of NLS_LANG and they all have to be set the same

We have two XP machines connecting to an Oracle database using ODBC drivers after installing Oracle8i client<br />
But now we have tried to connect a few more and we are getting an<br />

ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified<br />

It seems to be something to do with a language variable, would this be machine specific?<br />
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully received

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
