>First of all, when accessing data other than SQL Server, you need to specify the data access class in your config file. Check out the MM .NET Dev Guide topic "Specifying Data Access Classes in the Config File" for details.

Ok This is what I had in my Config File.

//***app.config*****

<databases>
    <add key="PERP\Connection" value="Data Source=perp;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SomePass;Unicode=True" />
    <add key="PERP\DataAccessClass" value="DataAccessOracle" />
  </databases>

This is what is in my BuisnessObject.cs

public ABusinessObject()
        {
            this.DatabaseKey = "PERP";
            *****this.RetrieveAutoIncrementPK = true; I am not using this line because 
            ***** I will take care of the key in the trigger. 
        }

>Secondly, I took a look at the Business Layer Generator source code and I see the current version you have does not instantiate a data access class for Oracle. We are getting ready to release a new version in a matter of days and this version will work properly with the Oracle .NET Data Provider.


I installed the latest version and when I go to the Business Layer Generator
I get to where it has the Database and the connection string. In the database Combo it has

'PERP'  

In the Connection String it has

Data Source=perp;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=rfi;Password=xxxxx;Unicode=True

when I don't put the password in there it grips that the password is null.

The Provider I am using is

.NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle

When I press the Get Data Button I get these errors

**** 1st Error *****

Kevin, We don't know what else to do. Dan and I are very new to .Net and MM.Net.

The only back end we have is Oracle.

How can we get connected to Oracle so that we can Finish the jump start so

that we will know how to do our own projects.
