I am trying to link two tables out of an Oracle 9i database to Access 2000<br />
After creating the database link I go to link the table sin the query window<br />
Table 1 has 2 key fields Quote which is text and Line which is Number<br />
Table 2 has 2 key fields Quote which is text and line which is also text.<br />
I cannot link the tables because the field types for the Line fields are different.<br />
I look at the Oracle table schema and the fields report type reports as Number type.<br />
<br />
How can I correct or work arround the problem?<br />

When linking Access 2000 to and Oracle 9i Database a number field in Oracle is reported as text in access
