Environment: WINXP, ORACLE 8.17, Centura 1.5, ASP 2.0

I am developing an integration solution, so I need to access the same data at the same time from two different front ends.

I have set up two seperate Oracle Services in XP, distinct all the way to the ORA.INI files where they both reference the same database directory, control01, control02, etc...

I have also set up two distinct Data Source names in the XP ODBC data source administrator.

The trouble is, I can connect through one or the other of these Service/Data Source combinations by itself, but not both at the same time. As I fiddle with stuff and bounce back and forth, the most common output is ORA-1033, "ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress".

One interface is written in Centura-Gupta's SAL language and the other is a classic ASP browser page. All of this is on the local host - no remote connections are involved at this stage.

Any help is much appreciated. One-man ping pong is an exhausting sport.....
