I haven't seen this problem.  The only time I've had to force-quit Access
was if I changed a table definition or restarted MySQL while Access was open
-- this tends to put it in an infinite loop.  (Great error handling,
Microsoft!)

Maybe someone can help you out more of you provide more details of your
setup?  MySQL, MyODBC, and Access versions, operating system of the clients,
etc.  Linked tables, or direct access via VBA?  Anything else unusual?

FWIW, we're using Windows NT 4.0, Access 2000, and MyODBC 2.50.39.  We're
using linked tables.  We haven't had any problems that weren't covered by
the MyODBC FAQ.  I highly recommend following their recommendation of adding
a TIMESTAMP column to each table, it fixed the flakiness we were having with
disappearing records and locked tables.
