O.K. Try this. map a drive to your oracle data source.Go to your windows control panel( or with your database open select Database/Connections - NEW- Will take you to same place) and open the ODBC administrator(User DSN tab)
and select add then select the driver you want to use(if not installed go to previous screen and add )this will bring up a screen for Odbc setup - this screen is differt according to the driver you are using.If you have problems and filling out this form let me know which drive you are using - I have setups for microsoft, oracle73, visigenic 32 and oracle 8.00 so I may be able to help.
