RE: Oracle to Access

Hi Lee,  

 Here is what I did to get it working on NT for an excel spreadsheet.  

1. Create the ODBC DSN to the data source
2. Make sure heterogeneous services is installed in %ORACLE_HOME%\HS\ADMIN
3. Add the entry in tnsnames.ora with (HS=OK)
4. Add an entry in listener.ora with (PROGRAM=hsodbc)
5. Create the database link to the spreadsheet.

If you want some specific examples of the tnsnames and listener entries let me know and I'll dig them up.  

HTH,   Beth

Hi,  

Oracle 8.1.7.3
Tru64 5.1
MSAccess 2000  

Preparing to be shot down in flames but I have been looking through some documentation and also some White Papers but for some reason I just don't get it.  

I need to see Access tables from an Oracle DB. The paper I am reading
(from Metalink) states that I should be able to do this via
Heterogeneous Services and ODBC agent but I cannot see how it all hangs together.  

Has anyone done this and if so could you point me in the right direction please. I don't need an idiots guide (or maybe I do) but a gentle nudge in the right direction should suffice.  

Regards  

Lee
