Hi
I'm doing an assignment and stuck on two of the tasks. I need to know how to connect a database created in SQL*Plus to a MS Access database. I also need to connect the same database to Visual Basic (v6).
I currently have a table in SQL*Plus with the following fields:
StudentID, CourseID, First_Name, Surname.
StudentID is a primary key and CourseID is a foreign key.
I've been looking through all my notes and doing a lot of research on the Internet on how to do these tasks but have not been successful. If someone can provide an example, that would be really useful.
Thank you.

I suggest you contact the instructor or at least a classmate.

1) One does not connect an Oracle database to anything.
2) at best, a piece of client s/w connects to Oracle database.
3) While Oracle can inter-operate with MS-Access, said interactions are typically initiated by having MS-ACCESS connect to Oracle.

the same database as opposed the other database?
Exactly how does one "connect" anything to a programming lanuage, like VB?

I think it is better to think you want to read/write an Oracle table from MS/Access and a VB6 program.
Both undertand ODBC.
Search for "Oracle VB (or VB6 or Visual Basic) ODBC" and you will find many solutions.
