Laura,

I have to admit to having the Access virus here as well. Most of the end users of Access simply use pass through queries or attach the tables which is not too bad. Access provides an easy interface for end users to get at data, so that makes my life easier as well. What I really do not appreciate is when users create Access tables that are copies of Oracle data because sooner or later (sooner no doubt) these static tables become stale and then the real battles start. At least here the decision makers are smart enough to ask the question of where did the data come from in the case of the report/graph that does not pass the sniff test.

How do I stop users from accessing Oracle tables with Access? They have rights to the tables in Oracle and should have those rights, yet I do not want anyone to be able to pull the data off into an access database. Is it possible to stop this without taking their privileges to the Oracle tables away?

Thank you,
Laura
