.Net Oracle Provider failure

[Bill Jones]

I have a web site that was just completed in .net using c#. There are a few
places where the website needs to access an Oracle Database to get data to
build some drop down lists for forms...etc. I build the site with Visual
InterDev on my development server and access the web pages through IE 6.0
and everything seems fine. When I do a copy project, I copy only the files
necessary to run the web site to my production server. When I try to view
the web site on my production server I get the following error occuring on
the lines containing "OracleDataAdapter.Fill(DataTable)"

System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or
greater.

My production server has release 3 of Oracle 8i install and the Microsoft
Oracle .NET Data Provider installed, along with Microsoft .NET
Framework(English) v1.0.3705.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Fixed it! There were two copies of the oci.dll on my web server. One that
installed with the Oracle .NET Data Provider and the other I'm not sure
where it came from. It was in C:\WINNT\system32\
