Shawn,

This may be the answer, however i wanted to make sure there was not anything
special i needed to do to setup for asp code. I copied over some asp files
into a directory(gt). I set that directory as a virtual directory off of the
root website(alias gt). When i go to access the site, i get the following
error:

Server Error in '/gt' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config"
configuration file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute
set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


So i am assuming that maybe there is something else i need to do to set up
iis for asp compatibility

Final solution that seemed to work:

Ok, the quick rundown



Fixed the ldap references In the code

Replaced the username and passwords for accounts in our domain (Remember
this code came from a separate company)

Installed Oracle Client software on Server

Installed Oracle OLE DB connectivity software (ODAC) from Oracle’s website.
This seemed to resolve the error I got in regards to the Oracle Client not
being found

Finally, the account used to access the database did not have the right to
view specific tables. It could see the list of tables, but not specific
tables.

My DBA had to create synonyms for the account used to access the database to
mimic the account that had ownership of the tables in the database.





At this point, I can now connect, perform queries on the tables, etc ,etc..



Wallah, thanks for the journey,

Thanks for all of your help
