System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

I am having problems opening a connection to an Oracle Database using
Visual Studio.NET 2003.

I can create the connection fine using the new connection wizard and
can browse the database using Server Explorer, the problem appears when
I try to open the connection when I run the project.

The error is as below:

System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7
or greater

Line 61: OracleConnection1.Open()

The Application is on a server running Oracle 9i, so I can't work out
why it's complaining about the version, I can connect ok using SQLPLS,
and run queries against the database so I think the connection is ok
between the two machines, the problem seems to be how the code behind
page is communicating with the Oracle Database.

The ASPNET account has full admin rights

I'm a bit stumped with this and am not an expert in .NET I just use it
for creating a few basic web forms that we use, could it be a dll
problem?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Matt.
