I've done exactly what you tried using the ODBC drivers from Oracle. I installed SQLNet and ODBC from an Oracle for Workgroups (Win32) 7.3.x release CD and connected to an Oracle 7.3 RDBMS server via MS Accesss 7.0, Oracle ODBC Test, and the ODBC package for Perl-Win32.

Have had no problems under Win95, but have had problems with ODBC Test under WinNT4.0.

However, Visigenic is also top quality.
