Connect to Oracle Database with VBScript

Hi, 



I am trying to connect to a Oracle 10g Express database. I am using VBScript and I just can't get it to connect. I am trying the code below and get a ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed error.



The oracle express database is installed on the same computer, not going though a network or anything.




sub OracleConnection





  'creates a query

  set Qry = ADO.CreateADOQuery()

 

  'specifies the connection string

  Qry.ConnectionString = DDT.ADODriver("Driver=Microsoft ODBC for Oracle;Server=127.0.0.1:8080;Uid=userID;Pwd=;password", "shipping_address")

  

  'specifies the desired SQL

  Qry.Sql = "SELECT * FROM shipping_address"

  

  'executes the query

  Qry.Open()

  

  log.Message(Qry)

 

  Qry.Close()





End Sub


 I am thinking it has something to do with the connectionString, I am just not familiar enough with all of this to understand whats going on, even if I do google search I can't get it to work.



Any Help would be awesome.



Thanks
