OK. Scratch that part about 'good enough to use'.

I installed 3.51.13 on one production desktop, and have spent the last 
hour repairing damage done :(
This driver still crashes Access intermittently. I get about 2 - 3 
minutes of use out of it. I have put logging into our Access app to see 
where exactly it's crashing. The bad news is that it doesn't seem to be 
anywhere in particular. I expected to see it crash every time it queried 
MySQL, but in fact it's crashing at any old time - when it's querying 
SQL Server, or even when it's just refreshing information from local ( 
Access ) temporary tables ( I grab data from around the place, populate 
Access tables, and then force the form to refresh ... the crashes aren't 
even happening when I'm gathering data, but when I refresh from the 
local tables ).

Reverting back to 3.51.12-2 fixes things completely ... HOWEVER ... this 
is no easy task. The uninstaller doesn't ... uninstall things. And so 
when you run the installer for 3.51.12-2, it complains that it can't 
find the setup routines, and I get an Abort / Retry / Ignore dialog. I 
have previously reported this issue, but didn't know what was causing 
it. After a LOT of frigging around, Windows Updating, etc, I had a look 
in the windows system folder, and found MySQL stuff still there! I 
deleted them, and then was able to install 3.51.12-2 successfully ... 
and now I am able to go home :)

Back to the drawing board? Sorry Peter. I'll get a crash log ( Access 
crash log, and the ODBC trace log ) tomorrow from my dev box ( which 
isn't crashing at the moment, by the way ).
