Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I am not familiar with the internal workings of Dictionary 7x.xls, but I suspect that it uses an MS SQL ADO connection to the database. If that is the case, then your spreadsheet will no longer work once you switch to an Oracle database without re-programming. You will need new references and libraries.

Raviraj,

When you upgraded to P6v7, did you switch from using the SQL Express database to the Oracle Express database? That could be the reason for the sudden turn of events.
