Hi,

I have been developing in Oracle for a couple of years and Access for a year and am really impressed with the potential for integrating Access as a front-end to Oracle for RAD. In spite of my strong belief that Java will win the day - that day is still a >long< ways off when it comes to UI building.

So. Here is my current technical glitch. It appears that MS Access chokes on an Oracle date field if the value is null. If this is a known bug, I'd sure like to know about it now because it tempers my enthusiasm somewhat and concerns me that maybe there are some other Access/ODBC issues relating to Oracle I need to consider.

Environment:

    Oracle 8.0.3
    ODBC Driver: Oracle
    NT 4.0

Thanks much in advance for any light on this subject.
