Yes you can, change the “your_server_name” part in “(HOST = your_server_name)” to the the remote servers name, or it’s IP address.

I am a student. I have an VB6 Application which uses Oracle 10g at it backend. Can I connect the same application from a client machine with the help of Oracle XE Client to the central Oracle XE Server DB.

Also can you please tell me how to connect a Oracle XE Client with a Oracle XE server.

I have the same problem you had, but I’ve found a simpler solution: Just install oracle client for 11g.
The ODBC driver in there worked just as fine with Oracle XE.

Now, about the licenses, I’m not sure if it’s free or whatever, let me know if you ever look into that, cya.

After installing on a new PC I was getting the error:
“The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126.”

I had to copy mfc71.dll and msvcr71.dll from the Win\System32 directory into the

to make the client happy. Odd.
