What OS are you running Access 2.0 on, Win3.x, Win95, or WinNT? Which ODBC Test program are you running? Which version of the ODBC are you using, 16- or 32-bit?

We have been able to get people working with Access 2.0 and Win3.x, Win95, and WinNT working in our environment. For 32-bit, we're using Microsoft's ODBC driver version 2.5. For 16-bit, we're using Oracle's 16-bit ODBC driver. If you are using Access 2.0 with Win95 and WinNT, you can use the 32-bit ODBC driver. You have to have the latest version of the 16-bit ODBC Manager which you can get from the Oracle products CD. You also have to have the ODBC16GT.DLL and ODBC32GT.DLL which will do the thunking from 16-bit (Access 2.0) to the 32-bit ODBC driver.
