Subject: Visual Basic connection to Oracle Personal 8i Date: dinsdag 12 december 2000 3:46

Hello everyone:

I've just installed Oracle 8i Personal version and want to connect to the database using Visual Basic. I've been trying to figure out the documentation but my background is such that I don't seem to get it. Can someone give me the steps I have to follow to use VB as a front end to the data base? I've been trying different things but get errors such as:

Test Connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ora-12154 . TNS:Could not resolve service name. Error in initializing provider ora-12560. Etc....

I've been trying to use Net8 but no luck.

Thanks for any help you can give me! Received on Wed Dec 27 2000 - 13:12:41 CST
