I'm a newbie regarding ADO..

I have made a simple BCB6 application using ADO.
The application is running on a Windows 2000 Server with an Oracle 8.0.5
client.
I use the PromptDataSource() function to call up the Data Link Properties
dialog.

When I try to create the connection string and test the connection (against
an Oracle 8.0.5 database) , I get a:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider.
ORA-06413: Connection not open."

What am I missing?

TIA,
Kim
