I have a SQL Server Database that imports data from an Oracle database, which is then accessed through an MS Access database.

I'm having problems with a field in the Oracle database that is of a long datatype, which corresponds (the closest match) to an nText datatype field. The problem is, MS Access has a bit of a time translating the nText field. We would like to convert the data in the nText datatype to a varchar(8000), but do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas on what can be done? I'm willing to make the fix on either the SQL Server or Oracle side.

Thanks in advance! :)
