You do not specify whether your problem occurs with Access97 or Access2000,
I assume the latter.
1) There are earlier postings about problems using Access2000 and MyODBC.
2) When using Access, performance is much better when you use a dsn-less
connection (your pseudo code seems to suggest that you do).
3) instead of calling the update after every single record insert, use
"record.UpdateBatch" after all records (or a block of records) has been
inserted. (Must open recordset with the keys: adOpenKeyset,
adLockBatchOptimistic defined as:
Const adLockBatchOptimistic= 4
Const adOpenKeyset= 1
See: ADOVBS.inc file if you have it).
Hope this helps
