in approximately one month ( 9 / 9 / 2000 ) , we are targeting that a new version of
the oracle nt client ( 8 . 1 . 6 ) , borland database engine ( bde ) 5 . 1 . 1 and
microsoft data access components ( mdac ) 2 . 5 . to all corp / ena workstations .
this software provides the connectivity from your workstation to enron ' s
oracle databases and the applications supported by them . we are currently in
the process of testing all the applications managed by corp / ena information
technology to ensure that they will be compliant with this new software .
this change may also effect your own developed ms - access , ms - excel
spreadsheets , and / or ms - query documents that retrieve data from enron ' s
oracle databases via odbc drivers . as part of the upgrade , all oracle odbc
connections will be upgraded to compliant driver versions .
if you would like to test your ms - access databases and / or ms - excel
spreadsheets under the new software releases , please use one of the
workstations at one of the following locations for your testing :
