MS ODBC problems w/8i

Hi,

After upgrading from 8.0.6 to 8.1.7 this weekend, we are experiencing sporadic failures in some end-user MS Access 2000 queries. We are using the MS for Oracle ODBC driver v2.573.xxx.xx instead of the Oracle supplied version because the MS version allows the retrieval of zero dates (instead of null). These zero dates are not supported by Oracle and can only be created thru a bug in the OCI which Cognos' PowerHouse exploits and our 3rd party app uses.

Does any one know of a newer version of the MS ODBC driver that works? No, I'm not going to ask to spend a truckload of money for the Intersolve drivers. Hell, I don't even know if they'll work with our stuff.

TIA,
