Your problem is you are using the Microsoft driver and probably in a
way old version, which is incompatible with newerv versions of Oracle.
The Microsoft driver is a driver for 7.3.3 and it has the name of the
central Oracle dll (orawin73.dll) hardcoded. That dll doesn't exist
anymore in newer versions of Oracle.
Either you need to use a recent version of the Oracle Ole DB provider
(downloadable at http://technet.oracle.com for free) or you need to
upgrade the Microsoft Oledb provider)
