Which version of the Oracle ODBC driver are you using? The newest Oracle driver (which is included in the MS ODBC Driver Pack 2.0) fixes the GPF problems of the earlier versions.
I don't know of any 32-bit drivers for
Oracle - I think it's some strategic decision in Oracle to prefer
their own proprietary Oracle Objects (which remains 16-bit) to ODBC, hence the
lack of a 32-bit ODBC driver.
