If you are using a version earlier to BDE5.0, make sure that
ORANT71.DLL is in your path.
If u r using BDE5.0, good luck and post results if u r successful.

The Oracle driver in BDE has two DLLs that it can use: one for Oracle 7 and
one for Oracle8. From your error messages, you are using the Oracle 7
driver. I think that using the Oracle8 driver requires that you have Net8
installed instead of SQL*NET.
