Hi,

   I haven't use VC++ with Oracle but i have tried to use VB 3.0 Professional Edition to Access Oracle. What i need is TCP/IP and SQL TCP/IP for windows in order to setup the connection. So, I think you should check this first. In VB, it seems simple to access oracle through it's ODBC function. Also, Oracle 6.0 is enough for VB.
