Oracle Client Upgrade

In approximately one month (9/9/2000), we are targeting that a new version of
the Oracle NT client (8.1.6), Borland Database Engine (BDE) 5.1.1 and
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.5. to all Corp/ENA workstations.
This software provides the connectivity from your workstation to Enron's
Oracle databases and the applications supported by them. We are currently in
the process of testing all the applications managed by Corp/ENA Information
Technology to ensure that they will be compliant with this new software.

This change may also effect your own developed MS-Access, MS-Excel
spreadsheets, and/or MS-Query documents that retrieve data from Enron's
Oracle databases via ODBC drivers. As part of the upgrade, all Oracle ODBC
connections will be upgraded to compliant driver versions.

If you would like to test your MS-Access databases and/or MS-Excel
spreadsheets under the new software releases, please use one of the
workstations at one of the following locations for your testing:
