Accessing Oracle Sequences via ODBC

Is it possible to access an Oracle sequence by using ODBC in MS Access?

I have been able to link to the Oracle tables, but need autonumbering and I
am not able to change the column properties.

Thanks!

I'm a bit confused by your question. I access many Oracle sequences from
Access using ADO. I don't understand what column properties you wish to
change. I can provide sample code, if that is of use to you.

It would be of great help if you could provide the sample code.

Thanks!

Here a few variations:

I use a public function to check the connection to Oracle (cn), re-establish
it if necessary.
Connect_Oracle

' A "quick and dirty" way to get the next value:
DIM NewActivityID as String
NewActivityID = cn.Execute( _
"SELECT ESS.S_10_1_Acti vities_TBL.NEXT VAL FROM DUAL").GetStrin g

' Or, using a record set:
DIM NewEvent as Long
rs.Open "SELECT ESS.S_19_1_OnSi teDetails_TBL.N EXTVAL from Dual", cn
NewEvent = rs(0)
rs.Close

' A slight variation
DIM Nval as Long
SQL = "select ESS.Concurrence _Seq.NEXTVAL from dual"
rs.Open SQL, cn
Nval = rs(0)
rs.Close

Hope this helps,
Randy
