Hi,

I just remember using MTS with Oracle 7. The only thing I had to do was to upgrade to 7.4 as I remember to get the full XA support that's needed to use Oracle with MTS. After doing so, everything ran smooth. At least for Oracle 7, the MTS docs contained a detailled step by step description to set up everything. Maybe you missed this ? Things shouldn't be that different for Oracle 8. The only thing that prevented me from using Oracle 8 then was the fact that there was no working OLE DB support out for 8. That should have changed by now. Check the MS site for that.

I hope I could help at least a little bit.......the XA support is the major thing to work with MTS.

ciao
