Re: Oracle and Microsoft access

I don't want to buy any other technologies and or drivers because that requires me to get the files to the clients. (NO THANKS). I was really thinking about a trigger in Oracle on the V$Session table, but I tried that and it said I couldn't create a trigger on a view. Essentially, I was hoping that when someone creates an oracle session with MSACCESS.EXE has the program name I would capture that somehow.

Thanks for a reply-
