Hello,
I don't know where to post my question, so please be patient if this is not properly the right place.

Simply, I want to connect to oracle using Microsoft Word VB. I have configured an ODBC DSN.
Reading VB help, I didn't find useful information to successfully connect, and use a recordset to navigate through data. It seems everything is tied to MailMerge.

I read some examples, but they didn't work. They used ODBC and ADO conncetions, both don't work on my Word 2000 (using oracle 9.2).

My VB macro returns "unknown user-defined type" error, on declaration of variable (test1, in my case) in the following ways:
- Dim test1 As ADODB.Connection

Dim test1 As Connection
Dim test1 As New Connection
Dim test1 As Recordset

So, I'm going to thing I'm missing something...
