Question Oracle and ASP

Can anyone help me with this problem?
I have installed Oracle v 9.2 onto an NT4 machine, on which I have running PWS.
With the help of a (VERY) expensive contractor I was able to setup and run a learning manager (built in Flash MX) which stores user details, logs users in etc, communicating with ASP.
The connection string used is "oConn.open "provider=MSDAORA.1;Password=HGTY;User ID=NAME;Database=Client".
"Client" above is the name I gave for the installation.

This all works fine and I'm not aware the contractor made changes elsewhere.

I have sent my files etc to a customer to install, and they are confused by the "Client" part of the oConn String.

I have searched the web, and have found references to a tnsnames.ora file, which I'm not aware was changed by the contractor, and to be honest I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do!!! LOL

Basically I need help on how the heck I point the app to the right Oracle DB!

Cheers in advance.

In your case, "Client" simply refers to the name of the database.

I've not seen the "Database" property used before though - usually you would use the property "Data Source" instead of "Database" - maybe give that a shot and see how you go.

More info

Hi Stump,
I'm off to the client next Tuesday, and hopefully I can solve it....watch this space Wednesday!

Unhappy New Problem!

Well.. the connection string took all day...and then my application failed, and it seems to have failed on the following line of code

oRS.Properties ("update Resync") = 1


I have been running my installation (on PWS, NT4 machine with Oracle Peronal Enterprise v8) and it was fine. Take out the above lines and it works fine too!

Can someone explain what it does?
THANKS
