Oracle and Access Best Practices

I’m looking for best practices for developing an application using Microsoft Access 97 as a front end to an Oracle 8 database. How to efficiently call a stored procedure with a pass-thru query, etc. My experience is with SQL Server and Oracle is abit different. Sample code is best for me. Are there news groups devoted to this subject that you know of? I’ve tried the book store, MSDN, the Oracle web site, etc. but everything is targeted toward RDO or ADO and VB. This particular project requires Access97 and consequently the jet engine. I could use ADO on top of that if necessary, but would like to minimize the memory footprint and support concerns as much as possible by staying native with Access.
