In addition to what Ed says, this setup tries to:
- use oracle V8.0
- connect to an instance, called ORCL
- on the same machine, you start access from
(which strikes me as odd - why use access
when you have a database?!?).

Back to you:
- do you have the Oracle databse software on this machine?
- did you create a database?
- did you call it ORCL?

If any of these questions is answered with 'No', get
someone to install the Oracle 8.0 client software; the
network stack is sufficient.
Get someone to configure SQL*Net, and retry...

And no - not having SQL*Plus does not matter - if you had it,
I would have known you had the Oracle network stack installed,
so, basically - it would have helped.
