Yes, I agree. In the future try to separate your application's presentation (user interface) from its model (data). Search for MVC (Model View Controller) on google.

Go to otn.oracle.com and search for OLE.

In addition to reading the Oracle Concepts Manual I recommend you go to a bookstore and check out any of the Oracle beginner's books. Also take a look at some Visual C++ beginner's books (eg Ivor Horton's books). They usually have a chapter on how to access databases through ADO/DAO/OLE. Good luck.
