Hi Robby,

I have progressed slightly.

Turns out I needed to set the %ORACLE_HOME% environment variable (this wasn't on the man page).

It now produces the following error:

        1> {ok, Ref} = odbc:connect("DSN=HWHU;UID=auid;PWD=apwd", []).

        =ERROR REPORT==== 29-Sep-2008::13:40:00 ===
        ODBC: received unexpected info: {tcp_closed,#Port<0.106>}

        ** exception error: no match of right hand side value {error, connection_closed}

        =ERROR REPORT==== 29-Sep-2008::13:40:00 ===
        ** Generic server <0.39.0> terminating
        ** Last message in was {#Port<0.104>,{exit_status,23}}
        ** When Server state == {state,#Port<0.104>,
                                 {<0.31.0>,#Ref<0.0.0.78>},
                                   <0.31.0>,undefined,on,undefined,undefined,on,
                                     connecting,undefined,0,
                                       [#Port<0.102>,#Port<0.103>],
                                 #Port<0.105>,#Port<0.106>}
        ** Reason for termination ==
        ** {port_exit,collecting_of_driver_information_faild}

I am using 10g and have checked the correct ODBC driver is installed (version 10.0.2.0 from Oracle)

Are you suggesting using an MS implementation of the Oracle ODBC driver?

Many Thanks,
Dan

Which ODBC Driver is your DSN HWHU using?

I ask, because I have had difficulties using the Oracle ODBC driver in the past. I wasn't using Erlang at the time though, but got the same error message. For me, the Microsoft Oracle driver worked fine and I stopped investigating.
