can't do ODBC pass-through from Access to Oracle

I am trying to test a very simple pass-through query from MS Access to Oracle server:   

  select sysdate from dual;

and I kept getting the error message:

  [Oracle][ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle OCI]ORA-00911:invalid charater. (#911)

this might be very simple, but I couldn't find any information from manual or help.

platform:

NT 4.0 client, Oracle 7.3.3 server on Sun, and I can use ODBC to link to tables in Oracle.

Please also forward your help to my email account. Thanks a lot.
