Default Database name added to link tables!

Hi,
I am a very new Access database user.
I am using the Microsoft Access function called “Get External Data” to
create link tables to an Oracle 11 G R2 database. My problem is that Access
is adding the database name to the names of all the link tables instead of
just creating link tables with the original Oracle database name. Eg a table
on the Oracle database is called “com_user” but is created by Access as a
link table called “databasename_com_user”
Unfortunately all my automated test scripts that use the Access link tables
fail because they do not recognize the link table names.

Do you know how I can remove the database name from the link tables or even
better stop access adding the database name to the link tables when get the
external data.

Many Thanks
