Tom, Much better to say Fmlp - (F)iche-(m)oi (l)e (p)aye! Or better yet say that someone's liver is going bad (the French have a great love for the health of their liver). To get really down and dirty, say something about essences (espece de chameaux, etc.).
Now, as far as Access, I have yet to find a better way to load an Excel spreadsheet's contents into Oracle than by first loading it into Access, and then uploading that table into Oracle (even if I do have to remember to capitalize the column headers and table name). I can change data types if the need arises (and it freq. does). I hate Access only because it allows Customer Support (who are, here, authorized to make production changes, albeit within a very restricted area under very specific circumstances) to make production changes; else, live and let live is my way of looking at things. I do try an and avoid any response that is not truly Oracle-related, but I'm feeling very lonely today - sorry.
