linking to an oracal database??

Hi there,
I would like to know where is can find some more information about issues to
watchout for when working with oracle databases, where Access xp is the FE
and oracle the BE.

If I link a table from sqlserver it links as dbo_Categories. How does the
table, which at this stage is still in design mode, is called Categories (in
oracle), present itself, went linked via ODBC to access??

What are some limits? eg: table name length, naming conventions, data types,
conversion Issues??

any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Norman

Hi, All the records in my database will contain at least one picture. At the moment all the images are part of the database as ole objects although the database is way to big and there is only 12 records in it.

I have a Back end database on a network drive. The copies of the front end are located on individual pc's (in their C drive). The problem arises when a laptop user naturally hooks up to the network but then the link from the front end (in the C drive of the laptop) to the back end (network drive) is lost. I have to then go to the tables section of the database window of the Front End and remove the links then link them again with the Back...

The code below works great IF the previous back-end database connection is still present and you are trying to connect to a new location (ie: datapath variable below). However, if you remove or even rename the old database, then launch your program, the code fails on the mytable.refreshlink line with an error 3044. (Description of that error is: 'C:\pc

I am converting an application from A97 to A2003. I have 2 tables created by another application as a Foxpro.dbf. The table has no index. The connect string in A97 is FoxPro 2.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;DATABASE=C:\Test It's really easy to connect to those tables in A97. I'm having difficulties in A2003.

I have the task to set up an application at work,using MS Access as a front end to a MySQL database. This will be done using an appropriate ODBC driver, and linking the MySQL database to Access.

If so, then I can set up users and access grants in MySQL...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
