If you do an ODBC link to an access database over a network then the
client downloads the whole fucking file before opening it. So it is
useless for that.
first, you are 100% wrong. When you use a file share on a network (non
odbc), and request one record out of a table of 500,000 records, THEN ONLY
ONE record is loaded from the mdb file.
In the case of ODBC, the SAME thing occurs, and if you request ONE record,
then ONLY THE ONE RECORD IS TRANSFERRED.
So, you are 100% WRONG here.
I explain this record loading process here in detail, and also explain why a
mdb file can corrupt when the connect is poor.
