This is a slick little trick to get around the need for a complete TNSNAMES.ORA file:
Have you ever tried to access an oracle instance in VBScript? This is not to
complicated, but normally you need an additional file called tnsnames.ora in the
oracle installation directory. This article describes an easy way to access an
oracle instance without this file. All you have to do is use a different
connection string.

About Keith Barrows
I've been in computing since 1975. I started on an old PDP-8J with 3k of memory and 2 teletypes. I learned BASIC and Octal based assembly. I later moved into CPM, TR-DOS, Apple and finally into PC-DOS, Dr DOS and MS-DOS. I've been a beta tester for over a decade, got into web applications as a means to handle B2B requirements and have specialized in data movement between applications and businesses since.
I have been a MVP, ASP Elite and was selected by Microsoft as one of the original 15 board members for ASPInsiders.
