I believe I am using the standard ADO functions that comes with Builder5.  I
didn't install the Oracle Developer tools on my machine, a colleague did who
happens to be away for a week.  I do have the 'OLE DB User's Guide, Release
8.1.6' installed so I guess I do.  However I am using the ADO components
from within Borland which appear to be the same as a machine without Oracle
Developer Tools installed.

This is becoming really annoying now as I have the data in the database but
currently have no way of effeciently querying it and is generally holding me
up.  I have tried explicitly using the ADOTable->GetFieldNames(); function
but that doesn't work (same error message), and switched to the for(;;) loop
to try and get better info on what is going on, but I guess it is the code
hidden within the ADOTable->Active that is killing it.
