table permissions vs. ODBC problem?

Howdy:

Running Oracle 9.2.0 on RedHat Linux 7.2.

I have a table which I created in Oracle, but would like to allow other users to connect to the server via MS Access (2000) and import a copy. However, the client side gives an 'ODBC
call failed' error message, but no description.

I can't believe it is a driver configuration problem - one reason why is that I am able to connect and EXPORT a table to my schema from MS Access and do some simple queries against that table. I just can't IMPORT a table from Oracle. I was thinking that this would have something to do with table permissions - but I'm not sure.

What type of permission should a table have in order for someone to IMPORT it to some other client / tool? Where can I find some log files that could point me toward the solution? Oracle's log files don't seem to have any info.

Thanks!

To follow up on a problem with MS Access (2000) and Oracle 9i (9.2.0.x) -

I managed to turn on the logging
(on the NT workstation side / ODBC)
and got the following error messages:

[/snip errors / questions]


Is there supposed to be some type of patch for this?
Is it MS Access related? (I'm guessing it is, but ...)
I am not sure *what* datatypes are not working for
MS Access <-> Oracle. Is there a way I can find out?


Any pointers / suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!
