I'm trying to connect to an Oracle Server via ADO and when I call the Connection.Open method,
I have an exception thrown (_com_error object; I'm using VC++ with #import "msado1.5.dll") and the error message makes no sense:

[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-00000: normal, successful completion

I've found an article which talks about a similar problem:

    Q183345 - ORA-00000 Error Message with ASP, MTS, and Connection Pooling

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q183/3/45.ASP?LNG=ENG&SA=PE R

Unfortunately, the article recommends upgrading the Oracle ODBC driver (why not!) to version 2.5, but I'm ALREADY USING IT!

Please help!!!

Here are the versions of software I'm using:

  Driver:

      Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Version 2.573.4202.00   ADO

      MSADO15.DLL                     Version 2.10.4202.1
  OS
      NT4.0 SP5

  Oracle Server (on UNIX) version 7
