Why oh why go through so much trouble. Visual Interdev is not yet ready for prime time (remember we are talking about a version 1 Microsoft product, better to wait for version 3.x).

The fastest Oracle to Web connection you can make is using IIS ASP (Activer Server Pages). With the latest Oracle ODBC driver (available from www.oracle.com) you can connect ASPs to Oracle 7.3 with nothing in-between except a little VBA.
