Hi,
If you are using VB then your best bet is Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) which is a COM layer over Oracle-Call-Interface (OCI). You get rid of ODBC with all its problems.
OO4O software comes with very good documentation and samples for Visual Basic and very easy to learn.
You can download this software from www.oracle.com
