HI, I was trying to connect VB6.0

[rann]

HI,
I was trying to connect VB6.0 with Oracle8i.
I used "Microsoft ADO Data Control 6.0 (OLEDB)" and
"Microsoft Flex Grid" for connecting VB with Oracle.
I had given the connectstring,RecordSource correctly.
But when i run the form i get a Error,

Error:Connection Failed because of an error in initializing
provider. Oracle error occured, but error message could not be retrieved from oracle.

why am i getting this error.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Rann.

What does your connection string look like?

Hi,
My connection string is:
Provider=MSDAORA.1;userid=scott;Persist Security info=false

Do i need to mount the database before connecting vb with
Oracle or can i directly connect.

Thanks in advance,
rann.
