  Answer:

  This is a known issue with the StarTeam Visual Studio Integration for VS2005. A new version of the Borland.StarTeam.VSIP.dll, which resolves this issue is now attached. To install this dll please do the following:

  1. Close Visual Studio
  2. Rename the orignal dll to something else such as Borland.StarTeam.VSIP.dll.old. This file is usually found in the following directory - C:\Program Files\Borland\StarTeam Integrations\StarTeam 2005 R2 Visual Studio 2005 Integration
  3. Download the attached file to the same location.
  4. Open Visual Studio and try to connect to your Oracle database.

  If you continue to experience this problem after making these changes contact support@borland.com
