an error message: initilization failed. alias: x.. then i tried to write my
own
small app with tdatabase. same result.

can anyone help?

AFAIK, there's nothing special.  Create an Oracle alias using TCP/IO and
set the server to 127.0.0.1.  Test the connection with SQL*Plus.  Then
create a BDE alias for the Oracle Alias.  This should work.
