   Is it possible to have the Oracle OLEDB or ODAC drivers for 8i and 10g   
   installed on the same machine?   
      
   If so, is there a way to select oracle home's between 8i and 10g?   
      
   I have an application written in VB6 against an 8.1.7 database.  The   
   database is being migrated to 10g on a separate server.  My client would   
   like to run in parallel for a few weeks entering and querying the same   
   data from both servers.  The application has been recompiled using the   
   10g OLEDB/ODAC drivers and needs to run on the same machine as the   
   application compiled against the 8i OLEDB drivers.   
      
   I feel that I am missing something fairly basic.  But the 10g ODAC   
   install corrupts the 8i Client install and the old application is then   
   unable to connect to the 8i database until all Oracle components are   
   uninstalled and removed from the registry.   
      
   Is there any way to make these 2 versions play nicely together?   
      
   Thanks in advance for any help.
