Re: MS Access 97 and CA ODBC - Query Timeout

[Bill Robins <brobins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,
No, there isn't an order by, but the transition to a "unioned" query is what is 
now
causing the problem.  One thing that is different with Access than any of the 
other
packages I have dealt with is that it wants to know the fields that identify 
unique
records.  Another interesting phenomena was that it demanded to know how 
multiple
files were related before I could define the query (normally, you can define the
relationships inside the query).

It just piques my interest that something about Access is throwing a CHGQRYA 
into the
server job.
