With versions prior to 8i the Service name in the ODBC entry
corresponds to the TNSNAME.ORA entry for the database you want to
connect to. Most people name it the same as the Oracle instance id
that the entry points to. I would suspect that you have to configure
Net8 first before you can get an ODBC connection. I have done it this
way for sqlnet ver 2 to Oracle 7.3 and for Net8 clients to remote
instances for both version 7.3 and 8.0.
