ADO & VB is definitely capable of doing what you want. SQL*NET is Oracles network transport so it must be working for you to have any connection from the workstation to the OracleDB (unless I suppose you telnet to the server from each workstation) . Wether it is a better or worse tool than Forms is a moot point. Received on Wed Aug 23 2000 - 05:51:27 CDT
