[AccessD] {Accessd] ODBC driver to Oracle to enableAccess queries

Actually I believe you are correct. My pass through queries use the IBM
client Access ODBC driver to return the data. The difference(at least in
my case) is that instead of sending a million record table down to
Access and then running the query to create a record set of 10,000
records, the pass through query runs on the AS400 and sends only the
result recordset down the line. This results in significantly fewer
problems.

Jim:

Isn't pass-through connections just ODBC? 

With good routers at each end of the connections you should not have any
corruption. The banks use Cisco router and they have no lost packets...
The
Cisco router does the encryption, manages the network and monitors the
packet flow. If a packet drops it automatically requests a resend. Even
if a
remote server or connection goes down the router just re-routes to
another
connection and/or server.

This type of system takes all corruption concerns out of transactions.
