Post your exeact code you are using. I assume it looks something like:

lnRetVal = SQLExec(lnHandle, "SELECT * FROM dataA, DataFirma where dataA.ID(+) = dataFIRMA.FIRMID", "crsResults")

The syntax I gave you is correct for a LEFT or RIGHT join for Oracle. Also, are you sure about the version of Oracle? The latest release of Oracle is 9. Did you mean version 8.1.6?
