[Halo]

Do you have 2 dbs running on the machine?? It seems as if you are executing the v8.0.5 exp utility to export an 8.1.6 db. Try changing your env. variables to the 816 db and retry.

I'm using 8i to export from 8 db.

Then you have to create the views that are used by the 8i utility in the 8.0.5 database. I think you can Use the catexp.sql in the 8i home to do this.
