I have tried to use DAO 3.5 with ODBCDirect to access an Oracle7 database
using Visual Basic. (and Intersolv ODBC 3.0) It seems to be working except
for:

1) There is a new datatype vbDecimal (VarType: 14). Oracle NUMBER datatype
is mapped to this type. The new type works with implicit conversions but
not explicit:
        s = "Value: " & rs(0)     ' Works
        s = CStr(rs(0))         ' Don't work

2) I can't get the DAO 3.5 recordsets to work with the Data control:
        Data1.Recordset = qd.OpenRecordset      ' Don't work

Have anyone noticed anything else? Or is it save to use DAO 3.5 with VB4?
