    What I would LIKE to do (please don't critisize)is write a small
    select query for use in an ASP page running on a Win2K server. I have
    checked the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files, and have run sqlplus
    from the windows box, and am able to get what I need, but have no idea
    how to get the connection to work in an ASP page, or get the query to
    work....I have tried using tools like Dreamweaver, but it seems to not
    like the drivers...

    Any short HOWTO's on basic VB script or ASP connections to Oracle? Or
    do I need to buy a book and start reading?
    You have to use ODBC/ADO etc to connect to the database. I don't know
    the exact syntax but you can search in comp.lang.visua l.basic NG.

    Another suggestion.... dump VB script/ASP and go with Java.
