I'm having trouble creating a remote view on an Oracle 8 server (UNIX, on a Digital Alpha box). I get the error:

"Connectivity Error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist".

I talked about this to our DBA, and he says it's because I don't "own the table". He also says that I'm "never going to own the table" so I should "forget about using Visual FoxPro."

We don't have any problems connecting to the Oracle server with Access or InfoMaker, just with VFP.

The tables we are tying to access are read only data dumps from our mainframe. I'd like to show off VFPs prowess as a front end to our data warehouse, but I'm just not getting very far with the DBA. Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
Arthur
