We're switching to Oracle in part because Access is not that fast and reliable. I can't
use Access as a bridge. And I'm not sure it will works, because I remember trying with a Thoroughbred
database through ODBC, and it didn't understand Access queries. Maybe my memories aren't so good, but
I just can't afford using Access on top of Oracle.

For everyone who took the time to give real answer, thank you. It maybe didn't solve my problem
but it gave some good ideas.
