Yes. Make sure that you have the Oracle ODBC driver installed on your PC workstation. From your Access database, with the database window in focus, do File/Get External Data/Link tables...; near the bottom of the dialog window is a pull-down list labeled "Files of type ...". Select "ODBC Databases", and in the resulting dialog specify your Oracle database. You will then be able to create table links to the Oracle tables. You may then construct insert or create table queries from the linked tables. When you get to be familiar with the process, you can skip the query step by doing File/Get External Data/Import... and following much the same procedure. Received on Fri Feb 21 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
