    Connection to Oracle problem

    I have a server running Win2K and an Oracle DBServer (seperate machine) running on Win2K. We where in an NT Domain, we just migrated to a Win2K Domain. Since then I keep getting a "Data Source Not Found" error.

    Anybody have this problem before?
    Any ideas to try?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Please answer the following so we can help:

    1) What product and version are you using?

    2) What driver are you using?

    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    If you are getting a "data source not found" but it USED to work, it looks like a connection string problem or a driver didn't get loaded onto your new Windows 2000 system. Try to connect using "pure asp" code (don't use ASP-db) and see what happens. Did you create a System DSN that points to your Oracle database? Did you used to have one on your old NT system? Maybe that's what's missing.

    I don't think I was clear when I described the problem.
    Before the problem I had a server running Win2K OS connecting to a NT 4.0 Domain.
    The db connection is via a system DSN.

    We upgraded the Domain - not this server. We moved the computer account from NT 4.0 domain to a Win2K domain.

    We are using a MS driver.
    Now that I have said that... IDEA!!!

    Ok the problem is..... security rights.

    I didnot change the user / password for the new domain in the Componet.

    Yeah, it works..
