dotnet academic: Hi every body:

I am developing a Web Application which need to use an Oracle Databse at my school ( a remote database server), but I could not establish an connection to this server.

I get this error message: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation."

Please help me with this !

Who administers the Oracle server you are trying to connect to?
Step one would be to contact the administrator and see what is required. The
message you quote is telling you that there is Oracle software needed that
has not been installed.

I suggest you take a look at:
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html
This is an .Net driver for an Oracle database. You should check what version
of the oracle database the is used at you school and download the apropriate
driver.
