You are so awesome. Thank you for pulling that one out of your hat.

I figured out that the string was wrong which led me to your post. I was desperate so I modified a view in Oracle to strip out the comma. It worked beautifully. I was able to synchronize the schemas, but now I am having problems getting the data into my sql server db. It traps an Oracle error: ORA-03134: Connections to this server are no longer supported. So I am off to the races again.

Once again, I appreciate you taking the time to help me. I am going to look into the registry issue as well just in case this is causing a problem somewhere else.

Best Regards,

Randee
