I will try this !
I never used this setting, thansk for pointing this out !

My tables are linked with these options :
UseDeclareFetch=1
UseServerSidePrepare=1
Fetch=10000
TrueIsMinus1=1
BoolsAsChar=0
TextAsLongVarchar=0
RowVersioning=1
RecognizeUniqueIndexes=1

All my text fields are maximum 254 characters long (to be
recognized as varchar in Access).
I only have very few memo fields, and only when they are
compulsorey.
I think the DB design is OK in my case.

I'll do that as a last solution, I don't have much time to
dig into these huge logs. But I will if I don't find
anything else.

Thanks, I might need luck ! ;)
