Again note, I'm not seeing user$ via Access, this is what I queried out of the database of what the session was running. It's either a piece of sql that Oracle runs behind the scenes, or, what Access runs. In other words, the user is trying to get MS Access to get them a list of objects and it's not coming up.

I don't disagree with you in regards to patching, it needs to get done but has not. I also don't disagree with the use of Access as a front end but I do not have control over that, I'm not the application developer.
