>Hello all,

>I am having a problem connecting to my oracle 8.0.6 database using the MSORCL32.dll with the Oracle 8.1.7 client installed on the client. I have another 3rd party application that requires the 8.1.7 client installed on the client on order to connect to it's 8.1.7 database. Has anyone successfully connected to an 8.0.6 database using the M$ ODBC for Oracle with the oracle 8.1.7 client installed?
I am fairly certain I was able to do this when we had 8.0.6. How are you trying to connect? Via VFP SQLConnect or SQLStringConnect? If so, try
DBQ= instead of
Server= in the connect string when using the Oracle ODBC Driver. Use
Server= when using the MS ODBC Driver for Oracle.
