SYMPTOMS
When you open an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) connection from a transactional component in COM+, Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), or any transactional Active Server Pages (ASP) page, you may receive the following error message if you use Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle:
Cannot connect to the transaction manager or the transaction manager is unavailable
If you use Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver for Oracle under the same circumstances, you may receive the following error message:
Driver Not Capable
Note These error messages only occur when you open the ADO connection in transactional components. Non-transactional components work as expected.
