>I just tried to create an Oracle 8 System DSN from my system (NT workstation 4.0/SP5, MDAC 2.1, VFP6/SP3) and it said "you must download the proper components from Oracle". Huh? I thought I had everything I needed to do ODBC from VFP to an Oracle back-end. So I went to the Oracle WWW site looking for a free download but have come up short. Can anyone shed light on this?

You also need the SQL*Net client installed on each workstation that is to connect to Oracle which is not a free product.
