MS Access via ODBC to Oracle CLOB field Types show as Text Type in Access

591062Aug 9 2007 — edited Apr 14 2010
When connecting to a migrated ACCESS database to the ORACLE database via ODBC the ORACLE CLOB fields show up in ACCESS as 255 char text fields.

Original ACCESS tables were Memo Type, they converted correctly to ORACLE CLOB type but the reverse doesn't appear to work ACCESS sees them as 255 char Text type

MS ACCESS version 2003 sp2
ORACLE version 8
Microsoft ODBC Driver 2.575.117.00
ORACLE driver 8.01.07.00

Is there an easy fix without modifing the ACCESS front end.
