dotnet odbc.net: Hi ,
I use ODBC DSN to connect Oracle.

string newConnString ="DSN=OracleTest;UID=tt;PWD=pp";
OdbcConnection m_connection = new OdbcConnection(newConnString);
m_connection.Open();

when I setup the DSN in windows ODBC Datasource manager, the test
connection successfully, but when use in asp.net code,
I got the following errors:
'ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error
5 (Oracle in OraHome92)."

Does anyone have some idea about this error?

Can you connect through SQL Plus? Is this an ASP.NET application?

This may be a permissions issue with respect to your Oracle folders. The following Oracle Metalink
article has more information on this:

¤ I can connect through SQL Plus, and I can also connect this DSN with C++.

Problem Description
-------------------

When running an application using the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) install
of client software and that attempts to connect to an Oracle database with the
Authenticated User privilege (such as when you use Microsoft's Internet
Information Server (IIS)) through any of the following programmatic interfaces

1. Oracle Provider for OLE DB
2. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
3. Oracle ODBC Driver

Solution Description
--------------------

Oracle 9.2 Client software requires that you give the Authenticated User
privilege to the Oracle Home by following these steps:

1. Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.

2. Launch Windows Explorer from the Start Menu and and navigate to the
ORACLE_HOME folder. This is typically the "Ora92" folder under the
"Oracle" folder (i.e. D:\Oracle\Ora92).

3. Right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and choose the "Properties" option
from the drop down list. A "Properties" window should appear.

4. Click on the "Security" tab of the "Properties" window.

5. Click on "Authenticated Users" item in the "Name" list (on Windows XP
the "Name" list is called "Group or user names").

6. Uncheck the "Read and Execute" box in the "Permissions" list under the
"Allow" column (on Windows XP the "Permissions" list is called
"Permissions for Authenticated Users").

7. Re-check the "Read and Execute" box under the "Allow" column (this is
the box you just unchecked).

8. Click the "Advanced" button and in the "Permission Entries" list make

Thanks for you reply.

then I can't register Metalink ?
Can you then copy the content of that document ?

I have been looking at this discussion with keen interest since I am
having experiencing this problem...
"ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified"

I would like to try the solution suggested but the entire solion has not
been posted. I cannot seem to create a MetaLink account and do not have
access to the solution.

Thanks

Does anyone have the last part of this solution...I do not have access
to metalik either.

Thanks

Paul,

I just posted a note and *then* found this message.

It solved my problem for 'Oracle client and networking components were not found'.

Many thanks,
