Hi,

        My application is on WindowsNT 4.0 Workstation. My database at
the moment
 is on Access.

I have  transferred the database onto Oracel8 (Enterprise edition
Release 8.0.3.0.0) on a Sun Solaris
server.

I have configured my SQL*NET (ver greater than 2) to have an alias
(GEN).

I tried to connect to the Oracle database from my local SQL*PLUS it was
successful. I tried a few
queries from the local SQL*PLUS interface adn it was also successful.

I want to use SQL Links to connect to the Oracle database. So, I went to
the BDE
 Administrator
(Intrabuilder ver 1.5) and created a new ORACLE alias (TESTO), in the
"SERVER NAME" setting I
selected "GEN" which was listed. I saved the new alias settings.

When I tried to view the Oracle database from within the BDE
Administrator it prompted for a
password and login name, when I provided the correct login name and
password it failed to connect and
the following error was displayed:

Vendor initialization failed
Cannot load IDAPI service library
File: ORANT71.DLL
Alias: testo

On  clicking the details button the following was displayed:

BDE Error: 15879   [$3E][$7]
Vendor intialization failed.

On clicking the next button the following was displayed:

BDE Error: 8458 [$21][$A]
File ORANT71.DLL

On clicking the next button again the following was displayed:

BDE ERROR: 15879 [$3E][$7]
Alias: testo


Can anybody please help me with this problem......I need to connect to
Oracle8..
..

Thanks in advance,
-Srinivas.

Make sure you have the vendor init pointing to the proper
DLL.  If the filename is actually ORANT71.DLL or
ORA73.DLL or something else, change the name in the
init file.  Also make sure the Oracle BIN directory is on
your DOS search path.

Hope this helps,

Bill (Inprise)
