Help: Oracle VB Connect

I am trying to interface a VB program to Oracle71 using OO4O but am getting the following error message:

 OLE Automation error.
  Unable to make connection, ORA-03121:
  no interface driver connected - function not performed   (error #440)

I have been able to ping with Oracle NetTest using the user name and alias I am using with the following VB code

 Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")  Set OraDatabase = OraSession.DbOpenDatabase("Alias",

         "username/password", 0&)

Oracle is on the same NT machine as the VB program is being run.

Is SQLNet necessary when running oo4o, Oracle, and the application on the same machine?

This is my first attempt at programming for Oracle, so I do not know if I am just doing something stupid.

Thanks in advance,
