Daniel,

If this is an Access limitation, you may be able to work around it by creating a pass-through query to run your SQL. I use this function to create a pass-through on the fly. I then run the query and delete it when I'm done.

Function DefineQuery(strName As String, _
strConnect As String, _
intTimeout As Integer, _
strSql As String, _
boolReturnsRecords As Boolean _
)
'A function to create a query given the listed parameters
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim db As dao.Database
Dim qrydef As dao.QueryDef
Dim StsBar As Variant

Set db = CurrentDb

StsBar = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Defining the query...")

db.QueryDefs.Delete (strName) 'Delete the query first if it exists
'Create the query
create_query:
Set qrydef = db.CreateQueryDef(strName)
qrydef.Connect = strConnect
qrydef.ODBCTimeout = intTimeout
qrydef.sql = strSql
qrydef.ReturnsRecords = boolReturnsRecords

StsBar = SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)

ErrorHandler:
Select Case Err.Number
Case 0
Err.Clear
Case 2501
Err.Clear
Case 3125
MsgBox "The query name " & strName & " is not valid. Make sure it does not contain any punctuation and is not longer than 64 characters."
Case 3141
MsgBox "I couldn't define the query."
Case 3265
Err.Clear
GoTo create_query
Case 3151
MsgBox "Connection to database was lost. Please close and reopen this program."
Case 3359
MsgBox "I couldn't create the query properly. Please close and reopen this program."
Case Else
Dim test As Variant
Dim strCommand As String
strCommand = "Define Query"
test = EmailError(Err.Number, Err.Description, strCommand)
End Select
End Function
