Can you see any pattern to the rows that are missing? The query seems
simple enough.

Yes, this should work fine.

No, there's no caching. Remember this is file based: when you close the
file, all memory is gone.

Don't know. As an experiment, you might try doing this with DAO instead
of ADODB. DAO is the native API for the Jet engine; it's quicker than
ADODB, but much less general.
import win32com.client
engine = win32com.client.Dispatch("DAO.DBEngine.36")
dao = engine.OpenDatabase('c:\\test1.mdb')
sql = "SELECT [STUDY AREA] AS area FROM [qry base dataset - SS copcs
only] GROUP BY [STUDY AREA]"
rs = cmd.OpenRecordset( sql )
while not rs.EOF:
print rs.Fields("area").Value
rs.MoveNext()
