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
usethis 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
longerthan 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
