-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I just received a CD from Oracle of Personal Oracle 8 ( version
8.0.3.0.0) for Win95/NT.
Problem is, my new laptop has Win98. I installed the software and ran
through the sample databases, which work without a problem, but
whenever I try to connect using ODBC32 from another client, in this
case, MSAccess, I get 'ODBC call failed'.
I downloaded what looked to be the latest ODBC driver package from
oracle.com, but the oracle installer fails to see it...
Also, the 'Migration Assistant for MSAccess' bombed, leaving me with
an Access database without tables or views. (It wasn't anything
important...)
Anyone using Oracle 8 on Windows 98? Is there a patch or procedure I
can follow to get it to work? I don't really want to install NT, if I
can help it. Perhaps there is a conflicting service on 98 that I can
disable?
I'd like to hear from anyone who may be able to help - thanks in
advance...
Please also reply by e.mail to "jim at oconnell dot net"
Thanks,
