I have an app that uses the 16bit ODBC and SqlNet to connect to Oracle 7.3 and it runs fine on my Win98 ( as well as WinNT and Win95 ) clients....

It appears to require that the 16bit binaries be in the path statement ahead of the 32bit ones...so, for example, the path should be c:\orawin\bin;c:\orawin95\bin

Assuming you have both 16 and 32 bit SqlNet installed on your client.... Received on Fri Aug 07 1998 - 09:32:41 CDT
