Re: Connecting Oracle to Access 2000 and making it editable

Not sure what MS Query is, but as for Access 2000 (and xp/2002) yes, absolutely it's possible. If you mean that you are getting a "Must use updateable query..." error, then that means you have to relink the tables (recreate the MS indices that guarantee the tables' uniqueness) before you can update/delete/insert.

What do you mean "it's very hard to update records to a linked Oracle database..."? There is nothing difficult about it. Open the linked table in Access and apply the update, or do so programatically through a form etc.

If you would like more detailed answers, or these are not what you are looking for, specify your version of Oracle and more detail to your questions.
