If you're processing 100K rows, shouldn't that be a red flag that you're
making access do something it's not designed to do? Access is a personal
database - for that much data I'm sure you'll get better performance with
SQL Server Express. Yes, it's more software to install, but it can always
be installed on a central server and shared amongst multiple clients?
