Access 2000 front end, Oracle 7 backend. I added a field to the table in the oracle backend, then refreshed the linked table in the Access front end. Now whenever I try to use a drop down menu I recieve an "ODBC-- connection to '{Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}servername' failed". This only occurs with the drop down menu, I can still access all the data in the backend through text boxes. Please advise.
