Hi,
When i try to connect to oracle from my vb.net application i am getting
following error
"Unable to find entry point named OCIEnvCreate in Dll oci.dll"

I tried to connect using Microsoft .Net Data Provider for oracle.

The connection string is "Server=pcname;uid=username;pwd=password;"

Please help me out

Hi,

Only Oracle 8.1.6+ (.7 recommended) Oracle clients are supported.
If you are using asp.net, make sure that local windows account aspnet has
read NTFS privilege on {oracle}\bin folder..
