MS Access migration to oracle

I've been told to migrate one MS-Access 97 database to oracle. Oracle Migration Workbench did the
trick in an extremely clean, quick and complete way. Tables are created, populated with data and it is
now when the problem starts. The people that were using this Access database were doing so by means
of an ancient VB piece of ... code and they don't want or they don't know to adjust it. They expect the program
to somehow find the new Oracle 8.1.7.3 instance and continue to work as it did before. I created a new access database containing ODBC links to the Oracle tables, but the program is complaining that the "links" are read only. Is there any way in this world or beyond to make these tables writable? I'm inclined to tell them that they should do some coding, which is very likely to make them go back to Access.
