Error: 
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle (0x80004005)
Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by 
Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client softaware installation. 
Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.

Solution Description:
Oracle 9.2 Client software requires that you give the Authenticated User privilege to the Oracle Home 
by following these steps:
1. Log on to Windows as a user with Administration privileges.
2. Launch Windows Explorer from the Start Menu and navigate to the ORACLE_HOME folder. This is 
typically the "Ora92" folder under the "Oracle" folder (i.e. D:\Oracle\Ora92).
3. Right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and choose the "Properties" option from the drop down 
list. A "Properties" window should appear.
4. Click on the "Security" tab of the "Properties" window.
5. Click on the "Authenticated Users" item in the "Name" or "Group or user names" list.
6. Uncheck the "Read and Execute" box in the "Permissions" or "Permissions for Authenticated 
Users" list under the "Allow" column.
7. Re-check the "Read and Execute" box under the "Allow" column (this is the box you just 
unchecked).
8. Click the "Advanced" button and in the "Permission Entries" list make sure you see 
the "Authenticated Users" listed there with: 
Permission = Read & Execute
Apply To = This folder, subfolders and files

If this is NOT the case, edit that line and make sure the "Apply onto" drop-down box is set to "This 
folder, subfolders and files". This should already be set properly but it is important that you verify 
this.
9. I checked the "Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply 
to child objects" checkbox and clicked the "Apply" button. (This was not specified in the original 
instructions, but it worked.)
10. Click the "Ok" button until you close out all of the security property windows. The cursor may 
present the hourglass for a few seconds as it applies the permissions you just changed to all 
subfolders and files. 
11. Reboot your computer to assure that these changes have taken effect.
12. Re-execute the application and it should now work.
