The big problem here is that I don't use Access, so I don't know what
happens behind the scenes.
Have you tried to make a ODBC and a MyODBC trace file to get some
notion about what happens? It looks like Access doesn't supply
MyODBC with the database name when it opens the tables, but it's funny
that it works when you link the tables.
