Oracle Automated Login via MS Access

We're implementing automated logins to Oracle, using the users NT
password. However, when trying to link in tables through the ODBC
datasource in MS Access, we're encountering errors. Because users
local tables are kept on the domain, the path comes up as
domainname/username.tablen ame. It appears that Access doesn't like the
/, and therefore falls over. When linking tables that aren't proceded
by the / it works fine.

Is there any way round this? Can a VBA module be written for example,
that puts quotes round the table path to bring it back. I've had a dig
around, but can't find anything that will help me with this problem.

Thanks,

Lucy Randles

I don't have an answer for the specific question, but I'd use pass
through queries in this particular circumstance. It's a lot more work
than linked tables, though, but it does bypass some of the problems some
Oracle schemae generate with ODBC linked tables.

The logon sequence is to use the IIS anonymous user account to access the Novell Server which in turn instructs the API programs as to...

I have a linked table from an Oracle database (that contains HR information for my company)in an Access database. The Oracle DB is updated on a daily basis.

Architecture: Access 2003 client, Oracle 9i repository, no Access security in place, ODBC linked tables. 100 or so users, in 3 or 4 groups (Oracle roles actually): Admins, Updaters and ReadOnly. Each group sees a different set of menu options when they open the client and login to Oracle. For the sake of speed I use pass-through queries here and there for updates and deletes. I update their SQL property in code and execute them.
