I'm sorry. It won't work.
You need the oracle Stuff installed, for ODBC....
It needs SQL net..

If they want to use it they need the client software SQL NET....
You can expect they will have it installed if they want to use Oracle
in their company. I.E. if they use it already they will have it installed.


Otherwise...There are a few other options.
You could try OLE DB-Provider method or using the.
OCI call interface both of these do not use SQL net.
CHeck your Oracle documentaion for more on these....

The OCI is extremely hard to program from foxpro as it requires Pointers to Functions which are not supported....I would love to get it to work but can't...

I tried to USE Oracle OLEObjects (an OLE Server)...
Looks nice but I can't figure out how to use a grid with it...
Maybe good for non - grid based screens....

Bottom Line is...
Try using the OLE DB provider method....If you don't want to install SQLNet...
You'll find it requires a major reworking of your application.
Otherwise it's not such a major thing (in my opinion) to expect that,
if the users want to use oracle, they have SQL net installed.....
