Ok. I tried now, and even for me the latest table strcuture is not visible
in the linked tables. I am using Access 2002. But I can see the
inserted/deleted rows of data in the linked table after I do the refresh
from records menu. If it doesn't work, you need to use filters from record
menu as follows:
- Refresh
- Apply filter / sort
- Remove filter / sort
then you can see all the latest updated records of data in the linked table.
I will crosss check with the MyODBC code and Access calls, why it is not
able to display the latest changes to the table structure, and if I find
something, let you know. Also, what about other vendors ? Does Access
displays the changed table structure in linked tables ?

No difference.
