    Re: VB6, ADO, Oracle, and Win7-64: Automation Error - cannot connect to Oracle

    Thnigs to consider:
    - Oracle Client must be installed on every workstation
    - tnsnames.ora file must be configured
    - if Admin folder (it's one of subfolders where client is installed) has sqlnet.ora file rename or delete it
    - check connectionstrings.com website for proper connection string
    - try not to use odbc to connect, rather oledb provider

    Question:
    - do you have access to vb code?
    - if you do then run project and press ctrl+pause to see what lines generates that error
    - what is your program automating (this really sounds strange because there is no automation required to connect to Oracle)
