Cannot connect to DB with ASP Data Grid

I am using the data grid that was posted in one of the articles:URL
and am unable to get it to connect to any data source.

My connection string is as follows:::
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
strConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;" & _
"Data Source=ARSP;" & _
"User Id=uId;" & _
"Password=pWd"
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


the error that I am receiving is:::
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0E7D)
The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
/PerformanceMS/supportfile/dynamic.datagrid.asp
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The code that lives at this error is ::::

objRS.ActiveConnection = objConn

I have tried using DSNless connections using both ODBC and OLEDB, and I will still get the same error.
Is there something that I am missing??

Please help!!!!
