 How to connect to an Oracle database using Access

I am using Access as a Front End (GUI) and want to connect
Access to an Oracle Database. How do I do this? Also, How
do I call a Oracle Stored Procedure.

You need to use either the Microsoft or Oracle ODBC driver. Create a DSN
to your database using the ODBC Manager in Windows Control Panel, then
use that connection to link the tables into Access (File, Get External
Data, Link Tables).

Call stored procedures requires you to put the procedure within a
BEGIN...END block inside a passthrough query.

Hope this helps

Also, you are required to have an Oracle client installed on your PC in
order to make the DSN connection work correctly.
