Hi
We're doing NT 4 server with VC++(6.0) with ADO in order to connect to NT and/or Unix Oracle 8x. While searching, there is a 7 page MSDN document on it titled 'Setting Up MTS to Access Oracle' which is found in 'Platform SDK:Transaction Server'. In short , U have to install an Oracle 7.3.4 client on the ADO NT which will connect to the Oracle server. Even if the Oracle and your app is on the same server, U need to install this 7.3.4 old version since ADO doesn't support Oracle8 client.
