Where does MS Access get the index information from for linked tables? I looked through all of the hidden and system objects and none of them seems to have index information.
The reason I am asking this is that I am trying to refresh the link to one of my Oracle tables and it is failing. I believe the reason it is failing is because one of the fields in the Oracle ALL_INDEXES view contains a value that is greater than 2Gig, i.e. it cannot be represented by a LONG. I believe the value is either DISTINCT_KEYS or NUM_ROWS. For some reason when MSAccess is refreshing a link it needs to read in the information about the index, and this is when the failure occurs.
I was hoping that if someone could tell me how MS Access retrieves the info for link table indexes, that I would somehow be able to modify that process to prevent the error.
Any information would be much appreciated.
