Hello all,

I have a project coming up where we will move the back-end data from 

Access(97) to Oracle.  Due to user familiarity Access is the choice for 

the front-end.  I need to hear your experiences and recommendations for 

this project.  The client is a little 'twitchy' due to what I believe 

is mis-information.  I have had some success doing this before, what I 

need is some uninvested testimony.  TIA

Using Access as a front-end poses no problems.



I use Access 97 as the front end for many of our employees who must have

access to Oracle.  I primarily gather the data via linked tables but ADO can

be used with no problem.  As long as you have the ODBC drivers installed

everything will work fine.
