OT-Visio and Oracle

I have upgraded my Visio to Visio Professional 2002 and noticed that it has datatbase modules as part of it. I have never used that part of Visio and was hoping someone who has could give me a little guidance.

I am trying run Visio on my Windows NT and connect to Oracle (either 7.3.4 or 8.1.6) on a Sun workstation. Visio does not give much help, just that the Wizzard is supposed to guide me thru the process. The first step of the wizzard is to set up the Drivers. It gives me many choices for drivers but the 2 most promising looking are "Oracle Server" or "ODBC Generic Driver". Then there are many subcatagories including: "Oracle 73 Ver 2.5" and "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" as well as many others for various Microsoft products.

It seems like connecting to a Microsoft product is a piece of cake but Oracle is hardly mentioned and so far I have not been able to make it work. Any pointers from someone who has made it work would be appreciated.

TIA, Wayne, McGillWL_at_navair.navy.mil
