Hi Jayesh,

I'm home running my Oracle db (8.1.7) and I can connect fine using:

loConnect = createobject("adodb.connection")
loConnect.Open("Provider=MSDAORA.1;User ID=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=MyOracleDB;Persist Security Info=False")

Which version of MDAC are you running? I have 2.7 installed.
