Actually, there is a pretty good book:
Oracle Programming with Visual Basic by Nick Snowdon. Published by Sybex. ISBN 0-7821-2322-8. It doesn't provide everything you might want to know about application development from start to finish, but it does provide very good coverage of all of the different access techniques such as DAO, RDO, ODBCDirect, ADO, OLE DB and OO4O.
Also, if you have not downloaded and installed the latest mdac_typ.exe, the MSDASDK (along with the update), run, do not walk to your nearest web browser and get them. Not only will you have the latest drivers, there are also a lot of good examples that come with them. Dig around on the Microsoft site and you'll find other helpful downloads as well.
