Bradd, Well, that's part of my problem here. That is how the question was posed to me and I don't know the answer to those questions. I thought they just wanted to connect to Oracle but I'm beginning to see there is more to this than I realized. I will have to dig up the answers to those questions but you have at least given me a place to start and some things I must come to understand. Thanks.

Are they talking about the Oracle Data Provider drivers for .NET? The integrations from Oracle into the .NET Studio? Which version of the .NET framework? Check out: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/dotnet/index.html for what oracle provides.
