You may want to try stored procedures. 3 months ago I tried RDO 2 with a Oracle driver. I can not remember if it was the newest from Oracle at the time. But their newest was not at ODBC level III anyway. I needed to pass parameters both in and out of stored procedures. I couldn't make it work so I tried the Microsoft driver that came with VB5. It has been working fine for me.

I wonder if you need to use asychronous mode. Using Microsoft driver, property StillExecuting didn't work for me (I think it works for many people). RDO 2 has an event which fires when async. queries finish. I tried to call stored procedures in async. mode. The event sometimes fired but sometimes didn't, which is effectively useless.
