Paul, You do need to download and install the Oracle ODBC drivers. Here's the URL you want to start from: http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/windows/odbc/content.html As I mentioned in my original post, you don't need to create an ODBC DSN, you just need to have the drivers installed. Note that Oracle does require you to register with their website to download anything. I have not ever received spam from Oracle or anybody who looks like they may be one of their parteners. I think there's an opt-out checkbox on the registration page for this. Make sure you check or uncheck it properly to avoid spammage.
