    Hi ,

    I use ODBC DSN to connect Oracle.

    string ConnString ="DSN=OracleTest;UID=webstore;PWD=webstore";
    OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection(newConnString);
    connection.Open();

    when I setup the DSN in windows ODBC Datasource manager, the test
    connection was successful, but when use in asp.net code,

    I got the following errors:

    "ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (Oracle in OraClient10g_home4)."

    Does anyone have some idea about this error?

    You are passing newConnString as the parameter where as it should be ConnString

    sorry that's actually only a spelling mistake,

    the proper code is given below,

    string ConnString ="DSN=OracleTest;UID=webstore;PWD=webstore";
    OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection(ConnString);
    connection.Open();

    so still I am getting the same error

    "ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (Oracle in OraClient10g_home4)."

    By default, anonymous access to ASP applications uses the local IUSR_COMPUTERNAME account and ASP.NET applications use the local ASPNET account.

    Try adding IUSR_COMPUTERNAME account or the ASPNET account to the Runtime Users group and restart the IIS Service
