How do you connect to the
database via your other tools?

With Oracle SQL Developer, I just enter the host IP, port number, and SID
(and username/password, of course). It can then connect successfully.

But I guess SQL Developer does not refer to tnsnames.ora, while Designer
probably does.

Then stick the ABC or the database field as the connect string. Then
you are good.
If you get an error, this means your tnsnames.ora is not correct. This
would be a different issue.

I suspect you are right and my tnsnames.ora is not properly configured. I
was only using Oracle SQL Developer before I installed Designer (as part
of
the suite). I will check this next week when I'm back at work again.

If you're using more than one Oracle product, they may be installed in
different Oracle home directories.
You have two ways of solving tnsnames problems:

1) Find a working product, and copy the tnsnames.ora from its home directory
to the other home,or
2) set an (system) environment variable TNS_ADMIN pointing to the directory
of the working product, hence all other products will use this directory
too; usally it's something like c:\[oracle_home_name]\network\admin
