Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: Drivers to run Crystal Reports on Oracle 8
Do you have access to an Oracle8 8.0.5 Server CD (Enterprise Edition
or not, it shouldn't matter)? OCIW32.DLL is part of the 8.0.5
Required Support Files. When you choose to install this from the
Oracle Installer, this will also copy the library OCIW32.DLL.
