Help needed for Oracle/PC DB app

I have to design an application that can run either against a central Oracle database or a local PC database. The idea is that data would be downloaded from the Oracle database onto a PC database on a laptop, taken offsite for data entry/updates, and then uploaded back into the Oracle database. Much of the application would work the same whether you were working against the central host DB or local PC DB. Some options would be disabled when working locally.

Forms 4.5 is a possible development choice but I'm not sure what would be a good choice for a PC database. Has anyone used Forms 4.5 with MS Access?

I thought Power Objects might also be good since it has it's own local Blaze database. I'm just a little leary of using an early version of a product.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences.

Thanks,
Laura
