Hi

I have a problem and cant seem to find the cause of it. Might seem too trivial to some of you, but i would appreciate some help anyway :-)

I am trying to coonect to Oracle from a WordBasic macro (designed for Word 95) using the wbodbc.wll files. Now the problem is that the SQLOPEN function call always returns a negative value and i am totally lost as to how i should debug/fix it. When i use an "Insert Database" command instead (with the same connect string etc), it works fine. but i cannot use this alternative (for obvious reasons... it is tooooo slow). Can anyone help me out? A prompt reply would be really appreciated :-)
