You didn't mention your Oracle version, but don't use the Microsoft stuff
for ADO, DAO, RDO for any recent versions - Oracle 8i or better.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q244/6/61.ASP&NoWebContent=1

Be sure to check out the Oracle support site for updates to your client
software.

There will always be a certain amount of difference between the various
providers/drivers, so you may occasionally need to play around with
different versions.

If your budget can stand it take a look at the DataDirect stuff at
http://www.datadirect.com/download/index.ssp .

In general, it is NOT in the interest of either M$ or Oracle to provide the
'best' OLE DB providers. Oracle would prefer you used JDBC and M$ prefers
you to use SQLServer. DataDirect likes to keep everyone happy and has the
best support.

[Just in case you are planning on migrating - the jury appears to still be
out on .NET Data Providers. <g>]
