We use an ODBC connection to bring some tables from a vendor supplied database into MS Access so that users can create their own on demand queries without needing to know SQL. Some of those tables, not all of them, have started to have problems in MS Access so that every field is populated with #Deleted when we try to open the table. We can query these tables fine using pl/sql Developer. 3 tables that are working have num datatypes for primary key(s). 3 tables that are not working use a combination of num and char datatypes as the primary keys. No bigint datatypes in these tables. There are no pending deletes on the 3 tables that are not working. Since the tables are vendor delivered, we can't change the data structure. A combination of Oracle driver 12.01.00.02 or 12.02.00.01 and MS Access version 2112 build (14729.20194) - the 3 problem tables all show #Deleted in all fields. A combination of Oracle driver 12.02.00.01 and MS Access version 2111 build (14701.20240) - the 3 problem tables work properly and show the data in all fields. This seems to indicate that the problem is with the version of MS Access. I've been looking for other reports of #Deleted and what I can find are from 6 or 7 years ago and not very many are recent reports. Does anyone have an idea for a workaround? We hate to lose the ability for our users to utilize MS Access for querying these tables.

My users have not had the issue yet. I am hoping it has to do with something else. But thanks for letting us know. I will check my systems to see if it is occurring.

Hi I noticed that the update was done for the 32 bit version that now works for my systems but the 64 bit version still has the issue. It has not updated to the current version yet. Is anyone else still waiting for the 64 bit version? Thanks

Our pass thru proc seems to run ok. It looks like they finally fixed it. Near the end of December 2021 there was another issue that stopped users from being able connect due to locking issues which lasted about 3 weeks. Are they properly testing a fix or change or patch?

Issue seems to be fixed in March 08 Version 2201 14827.20220 Monthly Enterprise as well, though no mention of the issue or fix is in the update notes.

Thanks Evan CI, I will check with the older connections and see if my channels have also been fixed.

MS Access Displays #Deleted in Every Field for Certain Tables
