OO4O is by far the best product. If you want to know where the good OO4O discussion group is goto...

You might want to try the new Oracle OLE DB (ADO) beta available from Oracle Technet. It will return server side cursors.

Oracle provides a OLE DB discussion group on Deja at...

Plus, there is a new book that was published November 28 from Wrox. It compares ADO and OO4O directly and finds OO4O the champ. The book's ISBN is 1861001789 : Visual Basic Oracle 8 Programmer's Refernce.

Good Luck!
