Hello All,

I am very new with VB.NET and I would appreciate your helping me with this problem.

I am trying to create a DataForm which will connect to an Oracle database on the server at work. Even though the connection was successful while tested, VB will not allow me to connect to the Oracle database by saying:

"It is only possible to connect to SQL Server Desktop Engine databases and Microsoft Access databases with this version of Visual Studio"

I currently have VB.NET standard edition on my PC and I was trying to connect to Oracle through OLE DB drivers.

I'm just wondering if there is another way I can try or if you know of any sure way to connect to a database other than SQL Server and MS Access. Thank you very much for your help.

Bruce
