If you can give a little more information, perhaps I can help out. Are you
tring to access Oracle via SQL*Net directly or are you going through an
intermediate set of libraries (Oracle Glue, Q+E Database Library etc...)? How
do you know that the SQL*Net for DOS that you are running is actually working?
Are you going through that directly or with another product (SQL*Plus,
SQL*Forms, etc...)?
I have been using VB 3.0 and SQL*Net for DOS to access Oracle on a VAX database
server (via the two libraries mentioned above) and the only thing that would
need to change for your platform should be the connect syntax. So let me know
what you are tring to do and if this is close.
