Hi, I have the same problem. My Oracle Client is version 8.0.xx (xx = 15 I think) Unfortunately I do not have the option to upgrade all clients to 8.1.7 or higher

When I try to access the DB via ODBC VS.NET does not comply and forces me to use the OLE DB driver.

Is there a way around this?

Kind regards

Dominik
