Hello,<br />
<br />
I would like to use the Oracle ODBC drivers in a VB6 application that is running on a Windows XP machine to connect to two Oracle tables. &nbsp;Problem is, I am pretty unfamiliar with exactly what I need to do in order to load the drivers correctly. &nbsp;Can someone please give me some instructions or point me to a step-by-step walkthrough?<br />
<br />
I found some information on loading the Oracle ADI first, but I got to a few places where I wasn't sure about the setting (ie., Default Home, SID) and I am not sure if I need to load the entire ADI.<br />
<br />
If there is a nice, easy way to connect with ODBC drivers without the need to load an extra client please let me know. &nbsp;I am looking for the quickest and easiest connection and all I need to do is read two tables (not even an update).<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your help.

Oracle ODBC Drivers

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
