As someone already suggested, tnsnames.ora file will have TNS aliases for the available databases, to which user can connect.

You can go one step further and do tnsping in each TNS service name, to verify user can make a connection to this service name:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [[Version 5.00.2195]]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

C:WINNTsystem32>tnsping db1-db33

TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on 18-OCT-2002 11:01:53

(c) Copyright 1997 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=db1.skiffy.com)(PORT=1521))
OK (220 msec)

C:WINNTsystem32>

Hope you know how to call OS commands from VB :-)))

Hope that helps,
