If both PO7 '95 and the 16-bit app is on the same machine, the ODBC driver (Windows 3.1) from Oracle will work (see Oracle trial software on WWW page). Good luck fighting the BDE though ;-)

If SEPARATE machines, you need SQL*NET on the 16-bit machine, and a listener on the PO7 machine. A previous posting indicates PO7 comes with a listener, but I can't confirm. Received on Mon Aug 05 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
