[Quoted] The solution to get Oracle Pe working on the uncertified Win ME has been posted in this group several times. It involves hacking win.ini Please use the archives (and in general always use the archives before posting)
As Personal Oracle comes with Oracle Objects for Ole, a dao like *native* interface which can be called from both Visual Basic and Visual C++, using ODBC to interact with an Oracle database from VB is the worst choice you can make.
