reading large text fields (ODBC direct connection to Oracle) in Access 97 vba

Hi

I have an Accesss 97 database that imports data from an Oracle database.
Some of the text fileds in the oreacle database have a fileds size larger
than 255 characters. If I just link the oracle tables to Access those large
text fileds apprea in Access as memo fields.

But when if I from VBA use a ODBC-direct connection to open a recordset on a
table in Oracle I cannot read the content of the large text fields. If I try
to assign the value of the Oracle text fileds to a recordset in base on an
Access table
rstAccess![Memo field] = rstOracle![Large Text]
I get the error "ODBC CALL FAILED"

If I try to perform an operation like
Variable = Function(restOracle![Large Text])
I get a the error "INVALID CURSOR POSITION"

Any help? Thenks in advance
