We have a program written in VB6 that in the past connected to Oracle 9. Now we have some new computers with windows 7 on them, so we had to install oracle 11g to be compatible.
But now our program can’t connect to the database anymore. Other stuff like sql*Plus connects fine.
Is there something we have to change in the program to get it to work or is there an extra driver we have to install,…?
First thing to check – does your VB6 app have a binary dependency on the Oracle 9
OCI.DLL? If so, it’s probably looking for it and failing. Might be worth a recompile for Win7 clients to pick-up the new library. What error do you see when the app fails?
