Re: How to make OLE DB work?

I did this recently. You have to put the Oracle Database install CD and select to Install the Programmer Option. Select a custom install and make sure OO4O is selected. It will install a folder called OO4O with some examples in VB, Excel, etc. If you intend to use VB 5 or 6 make sure you have the DBGRID32.OCX installed on your machine or the exaples won't work as they were written in VB4.

Hope this helps
