Re: Interfacing Oracle and Visual Basic

I dont know if this would solve your problem but mybe. First do not use VB Data Controls they are not very flexible for manipuliating your Data.
and second, the cause for the Errormessage maybe depends on your Oracle Table. If there is no Primary Key or at least one field with an index, it is impossible for VB to add/update any data.
