Hi Larry,

I used to use the connectivity kit for accessing Oracle in FPW 2.6 (may have used it in 2.5 too but that was a long time ago). If I recall it was pretty straight forward. I doubt MS will still sell it. I have a copy around on floppy somewhere, but it's the version that came with FPW 2.6 so I'm not sure if it will work with 2.5.

Anybody know what's the legality of giving a copy of a program to somebody else when support for it has disappeared?

>I have a FPW 2.5 system that I would like to add Oracle access to. Right now we have a separate non-FP program that creates a flat file from the Oracle database and places the file in a network share for our FPW app to load.
