There is a problem accessing ORACLE 8.0.4 from VB 5.0 through the supplied ODBC driver 8.0.4.0.0. I have found that the Data Form Wizard within VB 5 will not allow you to view the columns in the Dataset when accessing the table. This was experienced when creating a Grid form.

After speaking to ORACLE they suggested using the updated ODBC Driver Version 8.0.4.0.3 and can be obtained at the following FTP site

ftp://suppftp:suppftp_at_www.uk.oracle.com/patch/std/odbc/prerel/win32/8_0_43/

There are other documented bugs with the shipped version of the ODBC driver.

Cheers
