VBScript: can't connect to OraDB with no error shown

Question

Hi all!
I've wrote a simple VB Script program which uses tnsnames.ora file to connect to Oracle 10g2 DB.
Here it is:
Dim connectionString: connectionString = "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; SERVER=mydb;User Id=system;Password=" & DBpassword & ";"
Dim connection: Set connection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Dim rows: Set rows = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
connection.Open connectionString
connection.Close
I have 2 copies of databases: test and productoinal. I run the script from my localhost machine. For test envirinment in work okay, but for productional i'm getting the strange error:
C:\oracle\admin\Script\myscript.vbs(93, 1) Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: (Microsoft)(ODBC driver for Oracle)(Oracle)
C:\oracle\admin>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
No errors, but still no connection :( Line 93 is connection.Open connectionString.
I've verified that tnsnames.ora is correct and ORACLE_HOME variable is set. DB OS is Windows Server 2003.

Answer 1

1) It looks like there is an error-- it just looks like it is getting cut off. What is at line 93 of your script? Is that the "Dim connection" line?
2) Is there a reason that you need to use the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle? Rather than the Oracle ODBC driver? The Microsoft driver is rather ancient and may not work properly on newer Oracle clients because certain OCI functions it depends on have been desupported.
