I am preparing an application in VB 6 that uses - ADO to connect to Oracle 8i.
When I install this application on a machine that has Oracle Client installed on it, I do not have any problems.
However, after installing the same application on a machine that doesnot have Oracle Client installed, my application doesnot work - obviously because it cannot connect to my Oracle server.
Can anyone suggest what files i need to include / what i should do to overcome this problem.
please not i donot want to use DSN settings

You need to install the Oracle client and to use DSN settings. Other than discontinue to use Oracle, there are NO other solutions.

I'am not quite sure about this but i heard that it is possible to
connect to an Oracle database without using Oracle Client.

Only if you use the Java thin client from Java. But you still need the
Oracle thin libraries.
So you heard wrong.
My reply at present is
I did not hear it wrong
DataDirect technologies has drivers which dont need oracle client installation
