Roney, Yes, it helps somewhat. I have, in the past, created link servers and a view form between two SQL Server databases. Was just wondering if it's possible to do it from SQL ARS to an external Oracle database. Not very familiar with EIE. Is that something that needs to be purchased? Thanks again, Carol _____

You can either use EIE (RLO) which can help you to pull data from the external Oracle table to the Remedy Database, or you can create a database link between ARSystem Database and the external table in Oracle using ODBC drivers. Once the DB link is created with appropriate permissions (Read, Write, Execute) you can create a view form from within Remedy, however the Oracle table would require a unique key which you should be designated as the request id and AR System uses five different Oracle data types for columns: number (15, 0), float, varchar, blob, and clob.
