Yet another ora-12154 error.

My guess is that in switching to the 10g client, Oracle still thinks you are looking for the 9i TNSNAMES.ORA file... in the Windows version of Oracle Client(s) it uses a registry setting to tell all Oracle products which "Oracle Home" to use for tnsnames entries. I would check which client is in use. It's been a while since I've looked for it, but I seem to remember it to be here:

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE

I think the Key you are looking for is something like CURRENT_HOME or ORACLE_HOME... it should point to your 10g directory, not the 9i one...

Hopefully, this will help...
