Error -2147418113 when connecting with SQL toolkit

[Gris]

I have no trouble connecting with DBConnect( ) to an Access database.  However, when I try to connect to an Oracle database (Oracle73 driver), I get error -2147418113 "Catastrophic failure".  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Hi Gris, 

This seems to be a relatively common error when connecting to SQL databases and is not necessarily related to LabWindows/CVI. The following are several third party resources that I hope you will find helpful in your troubleshooting: 

Microsoft Support 1

Microsoft Support 2

Microsoft Support 3

I hope this helps!
