You'll need to create a "file DSN" or "File Data Source" in ODBC
Manager that points to your Oracle Database. You then need to open
access,
go FILE|GET EXTERNAL DATA|LINK TABLES. Then select file type of "ODBS
Databases ()". Select you database from the "File Data Source", click
ok. if all is well you should get a connection box which will then
connect to the database and give you a choice of tables to link. hope
this helps.
