Don't create indexes on fields with low selectivity (fields that only have a
small number of distinct values, such as boolean fields). A query like "select
* from Occurrence where HasSucceeded" would likely run faster doing a full scan
than using this index.

This index is redundant. Your primary key can be used for searches on
SimulationID.

Similarly, this index is redundant. The fact that ParticipantID is a primary
key means it's automatically indexed.

Again, this index is redundant.

I recommend you drop all those parentheses around joins - they only confuse
matters. Just write
SELECT ParticipantGroup.Description, Occurrence.SimulationID,
Occurrence.SimRunID, Occurrence.Period,
Count(OccurrenceParticipant.ParticipantID) AS CountOfParticipantID
FROM
ParticipantGroup INNER JOIN InitialParticipant ON
(ParticipantGroup.ParticipantGroupID =
InitialParticipant.ParticipantGroupID)
INNER JOIN OccurrenceParticipant ON
(InitialParticipant.ParticipantID = OccurrenceParticipant.ParticipantID)
INNER JOIN tmpPartArgs ON
(tmpPartArgs.participantID = OccurrenceParticipant.ParticipantID)
INNER JOIN Occurrence ON
(Occurrence.OccurrenceID = OccurrenceParticipant.OccurrenceID) AND
(Occurrence.SimRunID = OccurrenceParticipant.SimRunID) AND
(Occurrence.SimulationID = OccurrenceParticipant.SimulationID)
INNER JOIN tmpSimArgs ON
(tmpSimArgs.SimRunID = Occurrence.SimRunID) AND
(tmpSimArgs.SimulationID = Occurrence.SimulationID)
WHERE
OccurrenceParticipant.RoleTypeID IN (49, 52) AND Occurrence.HasSucceeded
GROUP BY
ParticipantGroup.Description, Occurrence.SimulationID, Occurrence.SimRunID,
Occurrence.Period;

Why did you feel the need to rewrite it? This mess of nested selects makes
SQLite's job much harder than it needs to be.
The original query should have worked out of the box (well, almost - there's no
TRUE keyword in SQLite). In any case, the query shown above should work fine in
both Access and SQLite, and is hopefully easier to read and undersand.
