Your developers are likely one step ahead of you - they probably got a message stating 'Provider not installed'. There are two possible reasons for this.

  1. It isn't installed - you'll find it listed under Windows interfaces in the installer tree for the 9i client.
  2. It isn't accessible - the users accessing the application need read/execute rights to the 9i client oracle_home directory (usually c:\oracle\ora92. Authenticated users get this, anonymous users don't.
