I believe that MS has a native OLE DB provider for Oracle, as well as their own database. However, regardless of what method an application uses (ODBC, OLE DB, ADO, etc.) the Oracle client software must be installed. The application talks to the client DB interface (ADO in this case), ADO talks to the Oracle network client on the workstation, and the Oracle client talks to the Oracle server.
