hi,
Are you set PATH variable. ?
if you are on WINDOWS then set PATH variable

c:\>set ORACLE_HOME=<complete home path>
c:\>set PATH=ORACLEHOME/bin

if you are on LINUX then set PATH like below
$export ORACLE_HOME=<complete oracle home path>
$export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

regards
Taj

Perhaps you didn't install those utilities at all?

Export utility produces a dump file which is operating system independant. It doesn't really matter which OS you run on PC, and where the database is. All you have to do is (shortly)

EXP username/password@database_alias FILE=export_file.dmp

Error you received ('exp' is not recognised as an internal or external command or operable batch file of dos) usually means that there is no such file there. Not in current (working) directory/folder, not in any of directories which are part of the PATH environment variable.

So, once again: are you sure you have installed Export utility? Can you locate it on your PC when you search for EXP.EXE? If not, install it first in order to use it.
