You probably don't want to use the Citrix driver, but the Oracle ODBC driver instead. This one goes directly to the database. It must first be
installed on the client. To see if you have it open your control panel and go to the ODBC data sources applet. Then click on the drivers tab and see if Oracle is listed there. If not, get the client CD and install it.

The second step is to configure Net8 to be able to connect to the database. Your DBA should be able to help with this. Once that's done, you can create a data source with the Oracle ODBC driver and access the tables through MS ACCESS.
