Geoff,
[Quoted] I would suggest, if you are porting an Access application to Oracle, to
look at Oracle's App Express product. In fact you can look at Oracle 10g
Express, a free version of the Oracle database that comes with App Express
bundled with it!
It's free!!
You have questions about it, ask away!!
