Re: Oracle 7 - NT ODBC connect problem - "access violation"

The ODBC driver which shipped with access does not work properly, especially with IIS 4.0. There is an improved driver in the NT 4.0 option kit, which does allow connection to Oracle 7, although I don't know of any other way to get the driver.
