Ed,

It probably has more to do with security than any other factor. My major
client won't allow me to have any connection to Oracle of any type due to
their security guidelines. My data tables are populated by the users
running reports daily, saving them and kicking off Monarch processes
that's part of an ETL load to my access backends.
