I am an end user of such a system. I really like Access as the front end.  It will work with Oracle on the backend, but it takes careful configuration to get them to cooperate. Oracle's support is dismal, so be sure the inhouse support resources are available and experienced. Access with MS-SQL Server or Sybase SQL Server work together much better (and are much less expensive).    Received on Fri Aug 05 1994 - 03:57:06 CEST
