Re: Errors Using OCI For The First Time

The docs are in a package called Programmer 2000. The library that was on the CD you used is a Microsoft format import library...There is a Borland one provided on the Programmer 2000 cd, or, Borland used to provide a utility called IMPLIB.EXE that would recreate the import library from the DLL, (the one you are interested in is OCIW32.DLL in the Oracle_home\bin directory).

mark

ps. the Prog. 2K cd also includes Borland IDE files with the samples in addition to the MAK files for use withthe MS compiler.
