Thank you Arnie,

All Excellent Suggestions! I do have the Oracle client, but 
don't seem to have the provider? The company uses 
tnsnames.ora, which would explain why the connections can be, 
I'm probably using the wrong terminology... referenced by
alias / name of the database.

And yes, below is the sequence of what is happening.
And yes, I do mean BCB completely crashes into a BCB error,
then dies.

I was using BCB C++ 6.0 with update 4.0

I found a product that seems to work...
ODAC (I think it stands for Oracle Database Access Component)
It's a 3rd party VCL, but the demo version seems to be able to
do the job. We'll probably purchase it...

I've tried the net version, and I can connect via TCP/IP.
So I can get away from using the install of the Oracle Client
on a user PC.

Thank you for your help!
Gave some great ideas I looked into.

Have a nice day,
Heinz
