[AccessD] Where to find Oracle OLE DB Driver

Seth,

Thanks for your link and quick reply.  One more thing...the odbc drivers are only 1 mb, however I need the Oracle Universal Installer (OUT) to install these drivers...Reading somes newsgroup messages about OUT on Google...people are saying that OUT is only packaged within their software bundle which is 180MB...YIKES!

Do you happen to know about OUT and getting this driver installed without installing the works?

Thanks,
Paul

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.
