Attempting to connect to Oracle 8i database

Has anyone found a way to connect to an Oracle 8i database? I have LabView 5.1 and the SQL Toolkit version 5.0 (which is the latest version of the Toolkit as far as I can tell).

The SQL Toolkit includes drivers for Oracle 7, but not 8. Unsurprisingly, with the Toolkit I could connect from an Oracle 7.x client to Oracle 7.x server, but my company is in the midst of upgrading to Oracle 8i and the software now can't establish a connection from the 8i client to the 8i server.

I'm fairly certain that my TNSNAMES.ORA file is correct and I've tried several types of entries in my ODBC administrator (different drivers, I mean). SQL*Plus can make a connection, MS Access can make a connection, but the Labview program I've written will not make the 8i connection.

Does anyone have any suggestions or solution? I'd greatly appreciate any assistance or information.
