Oracle 9i ODBC connection
I am attempting to access an Oracle 9i database located on a Solaris server from an XP client. The server is running Oracle 9i9.2.0.1.0 and the XP is Oracle client 9i 9.2.0.1.0. When I start a listener on the server, the listener starts but I receive a message “The listener supports no services”. I can access the database via SQLPLUS on the client using the Oracle client SQL. I can also access through a telnet SQLPLUS session. When I attempt to access the database in ACCESS using ODBC, I receive an error message:

ODBC - call failed.
Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle ORA 12514: TNS: listerner could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor (#12514) Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0 (Microsoft) (ODBC Driver Manager) Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#)

I realize that Listener.ora and Tnsnames.ora on the client work together. On the server, should I have something comparable?

Also, on other examples I have seen SID used to identify a service, the Oracle client configured as SERVICE_NAME = xxxx rather than SID.

After I can establish this ODBC connection, my ultimate goal is to use dfPower DBMS/Copy on my XP client to load Oracle tables on the server through an ODBC connection.

I would like to thank everyone who responded. It turned out to be an ODBC driver problem, once I loaded the correct driver, my ODBC connection worked.
