I'm dealing with updating some old programs (vba) from an oracle server and then getting them to run and interface with our new mysql server. The problem is, I just can't get excel and access to interface with this oracle 8i service. Does anyone know anything about 8i or oracle in general when it comes to connecting to their odbc services? How can I get Oracle 8i ODBC Drivers working and connecting to the "CMSP" service on my network? It is not working and just says that "TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified". However I now all the info is correct because we have other computers on the network that can connect to this service... help!
