Ironically enough, if you had SQL Server available, you could use Data Transformation Services (DTS) to move the data directly form Access to Oracle. You should try downloading the 120-day evaluation version of SQL Server:

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/trial/default.asp

You'll get DTS and you'll be able to use it for the next 120 days.

You'll be able to move table structures and data only, it will not copy indexes, primary or foreign keys, queries, forms or reports. You can re-create indexes, keys and constraints in Oracle afterwards, but you'll probably have to re-write the queries in order for them to work correctly. Oracle's SQL syntax is vastly different from Access, it's extremely unlikely they'll work as is.

Oracle may have a data copy/conversion program available, I don't know for sure however.
