Re: ODBC for Oracle doesn't work in WindowsME

You are working with a configuration that has never been certified on both windows98 and windows ME. As windows almost never is *truly* downwards compatible, I'm not surprised at all it doesn't work. BTW, Oracle 7 will be desupported December 31, 2000.
