Hi!
Can you find out if it's a Access or a MyODBC bug ?
You may be able to find out something by doing a MyODBC trace (it will
however be quite large if you must dump 16.067 rows before an error.
Another option is to download the MySQL 3.22.20 source and use the
'copy_db' perl script. This should be able to copy any database
between any SQL servers (but you will probably have to tweak it a bit)
Regards,
Monty
