Do you have the Oracle client libraries (from Oracle Corp) installed on your
machine? Are they version 8 or above? If so, does your program have access
to them (NTFS access to the location [Oracle Home] where the libraries
reside)?

Hi there!!!
I assume so, because when i can connect to my oracle server by using an ODBC
driver.
Do you think that is the same thing or can be any kind of problem anyway?
Thanks!

Rui,
This error can be caused by ACLs that the Oracle Installer places on the
ORACLE_HOME directory, which prevents us from loading DLLs from it. There is
a KB article on this on the works but I don't think it is available yet. Try
using filemon from http://www.systeminternals.com/ to make sure,

Hope this helped,
