Using the 817 client and 816 ODBC drivers, I've had no problems in access 2000...however, I have had problems with ODBC( Oracle, sybase and others) .. in access 97. In each case upgrading to access 2000 solved the problem. access 97 seemed to be a bit flaky about hanlding odbc connections.

 As for the client, I'm always in favor of using new drivers, but I've also had no problems using Oracle 7 clients to access 817 databases. Received on Thu Oct 17 2002 - 22:58:32 CDT
