Re: I need an honest opinion

I read the threads on this.

Last I heard, Visigenic was producing MS's ODBC for Oracle. Intersolv was producing Oracle's ODBC drivers (although somewhat crippled).

One of the two (MS's vs. Oracle's) doesn't support scrollable cursors. Both MS/ORacle's are phenomenally slow.
If you need robust, consider contatacting Intersolv. However, in Intersolv's 3.x product, they have a problem when using Access with conflicting field names
(e.g., you have the same field name in two tables which are part of the join). We submitted this "bug" to them
but have never heard back (two + years.)

We use Intersolvs. Their tech support bites.
