Re: The Saratoga Advantage Trust;
Rule 497(j) Filing
File No. 33-79708
-----------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam:
On behalf of the Trust, the undersigned certifies that the form of
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that would have been filed
under Rule 497(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, would not have
differed from that contained in the Trust's most recent Post-Effective Amendment
to the Trust's registration statement on Form N-1A, which was filed
electronically via EDGAR with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 30, 1996.
If you have any questions, please call me at (212) 626-0807.
Very truly yours,
GMS/gpb George M. Silfen
