Hi !!
As a quick note, I tried the same with MS SQL Server through its latest ODBC
driver by adding the new column, and I couldn't see any changes in the
linked tables from Access 2002.
So it shows clearly that, its some thing related to MS Access, not with the
driver. It might be a bug from Access or there might be some setting that we
need to do it, inorder to see the changes to the table structure.
Regards, venu
