Accessing Oracle Database thru ODBC Drivers

[vnaru]

Hi,

For vb applications to connect to a central Oracle database, do each of the machines running the vb application need an Oracle Service Name or can they connect using some other method.

I tried using Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle and Oracle ODBC driver also.

I am not too familiar with other methods, if there are any. But for your question "do each of the machines running the vb application need an Oracle Service Name?", the answer is yes.
