Caesar,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Hello, welcome to the OLAP forum.</i><br><br>I haven't seen any detailed discussion of Express errors in this forum, it is mainly general discussion and SQL Server OLAP Services.

Caesar,<br><br>Our team is implementing Oracle Express Server 6.3.0.1 on Sun Solaris 2.6 to push olap reports out to the Web (via Express Web Agent).&nbsp;&nbsp;Your message about &quot;Dienstfehler 40&quot; sounds like you might be using the German language.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you translate this error message for me?<br><br>Also, is it the Express &quot;environment&quot; (daemon) that is not starting or is it the Express &quot;service&quot; (instance) that is not starting? <p>MKR<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I have install Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000.
Then I install Oracle Express Server 6.3
But the Oracle Express Service can not start and return error code 40.
What's wrong?

I want to write Visual Basic program to get report data form Express Server. How can I do that??

Call Oracle support to find out what error code 40 tells you.(There is little or no connection between 8.1.7 and Express 6.3, BTW.)
Oracle hate MS so provide no tools to link Express into MS. There is a low-level API called Snapi, and a number of companies have wrapped this up in an ActiveX control - ACG, with their AOS suite, and AlphaCentauri, with ACOLAP, come to mind. We built our own as an aid to consultancy and it works well for that purpose.
Note that with the upcoming (sometime) 9i the Express engine will migrate inside the relational server, and both Snapi and the (much older) API called XCA will go. There will be a new Java API which should equate more or less to JOLAP and Oracle expect frontends to be written in Java using their BI Beans components.
