Simpeler solution, port the tables to Oracle and let the users continue to use Access to access and update the data. It wokrs as linked tables in Access with ODBC.

Since most of these databases have just a few tables in them I figure I can use sql loader to load the access tables into Oracle. But the tough part is, how do we have the users access the data once it is in Oracle? Since these are pretty static databases and we don't have the resources in house to develop front end tools to retrieve the data, I am wondering if there is a slick, user friendly tool out there can help us with this. Toad partially satisfies this need but I think it is an overkill for data access only. Also, it would be nice to have a web browser interface and some data insert and update capabilities without using sql. Alright I know now I am really push it...
