Strange Connection Error with OLEDB Oracle Connection

[GLUMAKR]

Have you seen this one before? I'm wondering if my driver is corrupted or something.

 

		string dataconnectionstring ="Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=-REMOVED-;User ID=-REMOVED-;Password=-REMOVED-";

		OleDbConnection dCmqToDB = new OleDbConnection(dataconnectionstring);
		OleDbDataAdapter dAmqToDB = new OleDbDataAdapter();


		try
		{

			dCmqToDB.Open();
		}

		catch (Exception ex)
		{
			MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
		}

 

Here is what I get from the exception.

 

   [system.Data.OleDb.OleDbException]: {System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException}
   System.Object: {System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException}
   _className: null
   _COMPlusExceptionCode: -532459699

Your help is appreciated! Thanks! :(

It might be worth re-installing the Oracle OleDB drivers (or trying the Managed Oracle libraries) as -532459699 is a generic COM error code that could well indicate a problem with the installation (it could also indicate any number of other COM related issues though :()
