We had this same issue. Our "workaround" was to go to the root oracle folder (ORA92) and grant read, write and execute permissions for authenticated users and apply them down all other folders. I don't know if that is creating any other problems, but all of our Oracle apps are working just fine now. Thanks, Adam Shackleford International Infrastructure Mary Kay Inc.

It restricts access to Installdirectory\Oracle\Ora92 so that users do not have Access. This drove me nuts trying to figure this one out. It was causing a "Provider not found" error message when a user tried to access Application using Oracle. I was able to confirm this on a few different installations. Tried it on an old NT server and it worked fine though. I'd be so Screwed without Filemon. Chris
