G'Day,

This works for me (I'm using W2K). Provding Oracle is installed OK it 
_should_ pick up Oracle_Home from the registry. Just make sure you have 
the correct path set up (do you have multiple Oracle Homes?).

Can you run sqlplus from the NT command prompt (cmd.exe)? If the answer 
is yes then look at any path differences and other environment differences.

Do you get any error mesages from sqlplus when you run it?

What version of Oracle are you using?

Cheers
