Steve:
 We are testing VB 3.0 ODBC against Oracle. We are using:  

     SQL*Net
     FTP TCP/IP for windows
     Banyan LAN
     Oracle on a Unix
 

 The connection is successful, but not without some pains. My first  reaction is that VB 3.0 ODBC requires SQL*Net. From there, several  changes need to your windows setup. The documentation is in the VB  setup disks.
