Visual-Basic Pass thru SQL

I hope this is the right place to ask this.

My colleague is trying to send an SQL statement through to Oracle (v6) from his VB application to update a row.

This returns an error.

It appears that if the SQL is returning some type of output it is ok (ie any 'select' statements), but fails if nothing is returned.

We are not sure if this is a to do with his Oracle account or his VB application.

Has anyone any ideas ?

BTW, If this is in the wrong group please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in Advance.
