Thank you so much for the code snippet. I (hopefully) would have gotten there eventually, but this made it painless.

Im tryin to transfer data between two dbs through dbms_file_transfer. I have the dump file on the destination db, and when I try to mount an external table from the .dmp file, I get an error KUP:11018: file not a valid dump file.

Im not mounting as external tables on source side. I just export the data in to .dmp file on the source side and sent it across to destination db.

Typically, it’s a corrupted file, and recovering the OS is the only option.

It wants to know how backing up first is a solution to this error message when you encounter it. Unless you are saying the only solution is to reinstall your whole operating system… Which again, sanity wants to talk to you about.

Doesn’t work. Have spent hours trying. Why does one have to be a computer specialist to troubleshoot this stuff. This should really be a simple process.Help

Well, I’m not sure what’s not working for you. Can you provide more detail? Yes, you’ll need to install printer drivers if the printer isn’t natively supported by the Windows release. My printers were supported.

I am getting this error when trying to re-add my HP Deskjet D4160. I have a time capsule and tried to find the file that you specify but I cannot seem to find it. I really need to get my printer set up for school but I cannot seem to solve the problem. I have the disk that my printer came with and I tried to re-install the software but I continue to et the same error. Any suggestions. What would be the step by step instructions to solve this.

Thanks!
Christina

Doesn’t work.
What about the need to install the printer drivers for windows that’s running on VmWare?
