I'm trying to determine from the rather sparse ODBC documentation how to create a winNT ODBC datasource that connects to a remote Oracle 7.3 running on an HP unix box using TCP/IP.

The oracle ODBC documentation doesn't outline remote database connection strings.
The ODBC driver field in question is most likely: Service name(normally just something like:beq-local.world) and possibly userID.
The only other fields in the Oracle ODBC driver set up are: Data source Name, Description, Connection in read only, prefetch count, translation option, and translation library

Anyone done this before? Is there any good documentation on this problem(no faq found that helps)?

Thanks,
