I am having trouble linking Access to Oracle tables since moving to a 64 bit
platform. I can setup the 32 bit drivers from syswow64 and connection is
successful but when I try to link the tables I get a ORA-12154 TNS error. I
have other apps that connect to oracle no problems and TNSPING is ok so I'm
fairly sure it's not a TNS issue.

Access 2003
Oracle 10g
Oracle ODBC driver

Can anyone assist before I go back to 32bit!

Hi,
I don’t have experience with Oracle, but make sure you creating DSN in
32-bit control panel ODBC, Access 2003 can use only that one

It is an Oracle TNS resolving error:

Check whether you can run TNSPing as 32-bit executable. I suspect that
you have only setup a working 64-bit connection.

See here for some possible solutions:
