Hi there, I wonder if you can help here.
We have a VB application which allows user account management (add, remove accounts etc).
On Windows 7 - Although users can log in to the application successfully, when they try to write to the database (for instance to commit an account removal) the following error appears:
*'Unable to connect SQLState=28000 [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied.'*
The Thread
309726 suggests adding the database password directly on the registry key for the ODBC driver:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\<driver>\password
Once the password has been added, you can then write to the database via the VB app.
This error does not appear on the same application on Windows XP and in the registry, the password key is empty. Why does it not need to be present on XP?
Would someone be able to give me some assistance why the error only appears on Win7.
Many thanks.
