Well, I have spend 3 day for resolving the problem of the "connectivity Access versus Oracle. I have downloaded the Personal Oracle 7.2, the Odbc 32bit driver (Oracle Corp.), installed at all and I experienced the message : **Specified driver could not be loaded**.

In my case this is due from the Access2 (16 bit) installation. The complete message was:
[Microsoft][ODBC DLL] Specified ...... [#0]

and I have thinked that the ODBC.DLL , could not load other DLL (specific for 32 bit, same of the oracle 7 and sqlnet v2).

I have resolved all with the pure substitution of Access2 with Access7 (for win95). Now all go well !

Bye
