This is all kind of confusing... It sounds like you have VFP as your data server - and the IT management wants to move to Access and Oracle. I don't see any need to work with Access at all. Are you going to work with the Oracle data in Access or something?

A logical progression for upsizing from VFP is Oracle or SQL Server... if they choose Access they are limiting themselves and going down in capabilities.
