hi

I have a VB application which uses oo4o to connect to Oracle database (10g) using Oracle client v 8.1.7. All was working well till we migrated to windows 7. On windows 7 (64 bit), we have oracle client 11g (64 bit). but the Vb application cannot make connection with the database although i can query the database using SQL Plus.

Pls help.

In VB, connection is being made as shown below:

m_OracleSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")

The error is customised in application code as below:

If m_OracleSession Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "ERROR CREATING THE ORACLE SESSION",.

I have installed my application in folder other than (x86) although it is a 32 bit application.

Without the actual code actual error no one can say what the error is.

Your statement "CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")" has nothing to do with the database and connection, it just locally creates the Oracle VB object.
Display the actual VB error message.

Ok,I will try to explain in detail:

On windows 7, when i try to run my VB appliation using Oracle 8.1.7 client, it is working fine.

When I do the same using Oracle 11g client (64 bit version), I am not able to connect to database. I am not getting any specific oracle error which I can post. The VB class just fails to make a connection.

I want to know if applications that use Oracle Object for OLE (OO4O) for database connectivity valid in Windows 7 and Oracle cleint 11g (64 bit version). If yes, please suggest what changes do I need to make in order to make things work.

Really appreciate your help Razz

Of course, your code hide it. Remove/comment any error handler.

From waht you posted, it does not even try to connect, it does not succeed to create the object. Once again this has nothing to do with the database or its connection.

Yes.

The FIRST thing is to know what is the error.

it is not possible to debug or change source code since I am testing on a remote machine which does not have VB installed on it.And on my machine I have Windows XP but VB is installed.

I will try to procure the environment where I can override the error returned by code and get back to you with actual error msg.

However, now I am assuming that there is no issue with OO4O while working on Oracle 11g client on Windows 7. but why in the Oracle folder (which gets installed in C:), there is no oo4o folder as in case of Oracle 8 client. Is it clubbed in some other folder?

Thanks a tonne for your assistance!

Regards,
Megha

Because you didn't install OO4O and this explain the error on object creation.

So you mean to say Oracle 8 client installation has oo4o by default but with Oracle 11g, we need to install separately?

It is on the client part, that is on the same CD you already installed the Oracle client.
