How do I import tables from a remote Oracle database?
server name is AnEng, the database name is Ilink. When I try to test the connection i get: TNS: listener could not resolve SID ...

I setup a DSN on the Oracle server. Is it possible to use that?

Thanks,
Lane

Hello Lane!

Have you got Oracle SQL Net set up on the machine?

If you do, look into the tnsnames.ora file which should be setup on the server. You may have to alter some registry settings on the client to point to the correct tnsnames.ora file.
