[Quoted] Short answer, no.

MS Access is really an application server with the MS Jet database engine integrated inside it.

Oracle RDBMS can replace (and massively out-perform) the Jet engine database, but it's front-end Oracle Forms component is a separate product, and is probably WAY too complex for anything built for just Access.

You can (with IMHO several significant reservations) move your data out to Oracle and still use your Access application components as the front-end, using the Oracle data via ODBC external tables.
