Engine-level Bugs

 

The flaws listed below remain unfixed for at least three versions of Access. You must know how to work around them, or they will bite you. Flaws marked "Sample" are demonstrated in AccessFlaws.zip (Access 2000, 125KB).

 

If you use queries, be aware!

 

These can all fail:

 

PARAMETERS clause

SELECT clause

DISTINCT predicate

FROM clause

WHERE clause

GROUP BY clause

ORDER BY clause

 

Some of these describe cases where Access fails or crashes.

Worse still, some give wrong answers, with no indication that the results are incorrect.

 

   * Failures caused by Name Auto-Correct Access 2000 and later

   * Incorrect Sorting (Decimal fields) Access 2000 on (partially fixed in 2007) Sample
