ODBC connection from Oracle to Access

Can someone please help me? I need to make an ODBC connection from SQL*PLUS to Access so that I can query/update Access tables. I am not talking about connecting from Access to Oracle--I've been doing that for years.

I did this a long time ago, and it worked very well for what I wanted to do, but I have forgotten (over 50), what connection string I used to hook into the ODBC DSN. The best I can recall is that I did something like &quot;<something>@ODBC:<dsn name>&quot;????? whatever

I assume this would be the same connection string you would use for any ODBC connection.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Visit and search the docs for 'heterogeneous'in the Net8 Admin guide
( If you have not registered for Technet, you may need to do so - its free and a very good resource)
There should be info on setting up an entry in your tnsnames.ora file ( I think just that one) that will use your ODBC DSN ...
