Re: Interfacing with Oracle 8i

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



Doesn't sound like the problem is VBA related - you might be better off trying an Oracle newsgroup. I can let you have example VBA connection code for 8i if you like though.

SOunds to me though this is a problem of the machine being incorrectly configured. Can you connect with SQLplus? It's probably easier to troubleshoot from there if you can't rather than complicate things further with MS on top of it.

I'm dealing with updating some old programs (vba) from an oracle server
and then getting them to run and interface with our new mysql server. The problem is, I just can't get excel and access to interface with
this oracle 8i service. Does anyone know anything about 8i or oracle
in general when it comes to connecting to their odbc services? How can
I get Oracle 8i ODBC Drivers working and connecting to the "CMSP"
service on my network? It is not working and just says that "TNS could
not resolve the connect identifier specified". However I now all the
info is correct because we have other computers on the network that can
connect to this service... help!
