How To Connect MS Access to Oracle Servers in Oracle?

Once you got a DSN defined in the ODBC manager that connects to an Oracle server, you can connect a normal MS Access document to the Oracle server, and link an Access table to Oracle table. The tutorial below gives you a good example:

• Start MS Access with a new database file.
• Go to File menu.
• Select Get External Data.
• Select Import.... The Import dialog box shows up.
• Select Files of type: ODBC Database(). The Select Data Source dialog box shows up.
• Click the Machine Data Source tab. You should see the DSN name "FYI_DSN" you defined earlier.
• Select "FYI_DSN".
• Enter User Name: fyi.
• Enter Password: retneciyf.

You should see the Oracle ODBC Driver Connect dialog box as shown in the picture below:

Click the OK button to continue. You should see a list of tables available for you to import from the Oracle server as shown in the picture below:
