You don’t need ODBC to connect from Forms Builder. Look for a file called “TNSNAMES.ORA” in your Developer installation.

If you installed database client software and forms builder, there will be 2 instances of this file, and since you are able to connect and execute commands from SQL*Plus, one of your tnsnames files is correct, and that is most likely the one from the database client installation.

You should be able to copy it to the appropriate path in your developer installation, which should make Forms builder able to connect.

I would recommend fixing the Forms Builder connection first. When that is done, you can deal with the VB6 part.

Feel free to add more information/details or ask any question you may have.

Client OS : Windows XP… oracle client installed for students..
All students uses user/user/xe as username/password/hoststring in SQL Plus..

My problems..
Table can be created and values are added in SQL Command line mode
But in VB6 and Oracle Form builder the data in the table is not displayed or updated..

If you cannot connect to the database, of course you will not be able to fetch or update data.

Can you connect to the database ?
What errors are you getting ?
What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far ?
