Unless you purchase & distribute a 3rd party oracle network lib (I think DataDirect sells one) your client PCs will all have to have a valid oracle client install, complete w/sqlnet.ora & tnsnames.ora, etc. (FWIW, if you were using vb.net, you could conceivably set up a web service to mediate between your app & the db, in which case you'd only have to maintain an oracle client on the web server.)
