Access is Denied Error

I just installed Oracle 9i on a Windows XP Professional machine. I am trying to get my vbscript/asp programs to connect to the database I created. I set up 2 ODBC connections on the system tab, one driver is "Oracle in OraHome92" and one is "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle".

Using the first driver I am able to test the connection in the ODBC administrator and it comes back successful. When I go into IE and use this connection through my vbscript/asp program I get an "access is denied" error on the line that performs the conn.open command. I get a similar error if I try to "Start HTTP Server powered by Apache", [alert] (5) Access is denied: FastCGI: CreateMutex() failed....

Using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver I get an error that "The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3 (or greater) client software installation. You will be unable to use this driver until these components have been installed." I believe that every option in the installation said that the client software was installed.

I am able to connect through sql+ using the same user id and password. All the other Oracle tools I use seem to see the database and I see the database in the tnsnames.ora file.

Please help! I have to give a demo on Wednesday and can't do it without getting my programs to talk to the database. Please accept my thanks in advance for any help provided. Received on Sun Nov 17 2002 - 08:47:38 CST
