Unable to connect Oracle using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
I am unable to connect to my Oracle database (Oracle7 Server Release
7.3.3.0.0). When I try to test my connection I get the following error
message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The
Oracle(tm) client and network components were not found. These components are
supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3. (or
greater) client software installation.
You will be unable to use this provider until these components have been
installed."
I have tried it using the Oracle 7.3.3 and Oracle 8.0 client software, both
didn't work. I am using: VB6 SP1, WinNT 4.0 SP3, SQL *Net Client 2.3.30.0,
Oracle Net8 Client 8.0.4.0.0 and Oracle TCP/IP adaper 2.3.30.0.
The 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers' works fine.
Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Fons
