SYMPTOMS
When using the 16-bit Oracle 7 ODBC driver (Sqora7.dll version 1.11.0000) that ships with Visual FoxPro to connect to an Oracle 7 server, the connection fails with the following error message:
CAUSE
This error occurs because there are a lot of files (programs, projects, tables, and so on) open in Visual FoxPro when you attempt to establish a connection to the Oracle server.
RESOLUTION
Close some of the files prior to making the connection to the Oracle server. This problem does not occur in the 32-bit Oracle 7 driver provided by Visigenic Corporation.
NOTE: As of 12/9/98, Visigenic Corporation has been acquired by INPRISE, Inc.
