I am trying to find information on the following. Any help would be appreciated.

We want to have the middle tier of a three-tiered application handle all the data connections. Our problem is that we will have an oracle backend, and dont want to have to install the client, etc, on each users PC. Rather, we'd like to have the oracle client, et al, installed on the NT box with MTS on it. That NT box would have the ODBC info, or however we decided to connect.

Most of the information that is available is more web information, where the IIS/MTS server has the ODBC info. We plan on having a non-thin VB client distributed with referenced to the MTS server.

Appreciate any info in advance.
