Need more info: What are you doing when the error occurs? If it's vb code, can you post it? Can you connect from the erroring machine via sql*plus? Can you link a table via the odbc connection & open it interactively? Does it make a difference if you define a new odbc data source & link through that? Is the error consistent accross client pcs? Which odbc driver are you using--oracle's or ms'?

I also noticed with the odbctest that the user had a very small and limited amount of tables to view from all_tables. Could that be the reason that we are getting this error from Access?
