| • | If you use version 12.0.4518.1014 or version 12.0.6211.1000 of the ODBC driver (aceodbc.dll) for Access 2007 in a query, the returned values for the SQLDescribeCol function and the SQLColAttribute function are incorrect.
Note The returned values for the SQLDescribeCol function and the SQLColAttribute function are the same. The correct values should be 255. However, the returned values are 2147483598.
