Joey,
We have a Oracle here at our shop. The answer is yes, you can obdc to a view. We do it here to create reports using access.
This is the best way I know to connect to a oracle table that has lots of indexes, or to large for Access. Create a view and connect to that.

Could elaborate on how to do this? What do you do when you open the ODBC Data Source Administrator in 8i to do this?
