Re: Using VB as a front end to Oracle

[Quoted] The fastest way is using the OCX for OCI, no maybe and guessware layers.

The OCX for OCI provides the VB (or OCX users/programmers) with direct "control" and "access" to the OCI programming API. Full control, full speed.

Simply requires SQL*NET in user's workstations.

The OCX/OCI (comes with 32 and 16 bit OCX, VB4 samples, printed and online documentation) can be found at Sylvain Faust Inc. (SFI) at: http://www.sfi-software.com
