No need to send out emails other than for notification - we'll test your
suggestion below and we will be on 10.2 by this time - thanks so much!

Dianna,

  If you setup a profile, ODBC should be able to handle the password
change when the password expires.  I've tested it on Oracle's 10.2 ODBC
driver with MS Access.  It will prompt for the new password.  Do you
have a specfic need to send out emails?

Jay

My thoughts originally were to use an email notification sending mail
from within Oracle, with a link to a webpage in the email and then they
could put in old password and new password...if old password compare is
successful, let them change it to a new one.
I haven't thought thru that whole process though and thought setting
this up in multiple instances would be time consuming and a lot of
maintenance.  Would something like this work?

Yes, however, the notification process for those using ODBC access
through non-native Oracle app is difficult.  I am looking for a solution
to this as well.
