We use InterSolv's ODBC driver for Oracle (www.intersolv.com) but the ones on the Oracle Client Tools CD should work fine.

For up to date Oracle ODBC drivers look in :- http://technet.oracle.com/software/download.htm

I'm using version 2.5.3.0.1b on Windows 98 to pull back info using Excel (via MS Query) with no problems.

Regards,
Jason.
