I need my VB4 application to "talk" to the Oracle Local Database that resides on my desktop PC. When I try to open the database from my VB4 app, I get the error message "Couldn't find installable ISAM."

To setup the data source I double-clicked the ODBC icon in Control Panel, clicked the Add button, chose "Oracle ODBC Driver for Rdb," and keyed in "Local Database" for data source name.

The connect code I use in my VB code is

sConnect = "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ODBC32.DLL;UID=SCOTT;PWD=TIGER"

' Get ISAM error message on next line... Set dbPersonInfo = OpenDatabase("Local Database", False, False, sConnect)

If you have any advice, I would appreciate your assistance. Thank you.
