Yep, your remote machine needs to have either the Microsoft OLDDB or ODBC
driver for Oracle, which I think is a standard driver included in Windows,
but probably needs to be updated (see http://www.microsoft.com/data/ ). You
then need to get into the Control Panel, select ODBC, and assign a
connection string to your Oracle server.

Then you can use ADO, DAO, or whatever to connect to the Oracle server
through the connection string you assigned in the ODBC driver.

From then on, I BELIEVE you talk to Oracle in much the same way as talking
to Access or SQL Server... However I'm sure there's minor but very annoying
differences and omissions!!!

Help find E.T. with SETI@Home!!!

Does your PC get bored while you're away? A CPU is a terrible thing to
waste, so take him to http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and tell him to
download SETI@Home, the free, totally "Techno-Cool" screen saver.

Instantly, he'll be a PC with a mission, because SETI@Home is definitely is
NOT another "Flying Toaster" screen saver that rots his CPU. Your PC will be
processing Radio Telescope signals from Arecibo, using state-of-the-art DSP
algorithms like FFT's and Correlators. Then it uploads the results back to
SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence)... I told you it was
cool!!!

And if your PC makes one of the most important discoveries of all time (a
signal from a distant civilization), he will be the envy of the Net, because
the SETI team will give him credit in their worldwide press release (oh
yeah, you'll get credit, too, so you won't get jealous and make a scene).
