I can't get Access to read a raw(16) type from Oracle 8i into a usable format.

It looks like Oracle's ODBC driver sends RAW fields to Access as Binary types.
These "binary types" are not really useful in Access. A type of TEXT would be more suitable. Ideally I'd like that field to show up as TEXT in Access.

I think this stuff came across as TEXT with Oracle 7.3, but I'm not positive.

Is there a way to do this? Or is this just Microsoft and Oracle not wanting to talk to each other?

Thanks,
