That's right. See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=9932

I can't comment on whether this is an intentional attempt by Microsoft 
to break things. I certainly agree with your general sentiments, but 
unfortunately this time I think the blame lies with MySQL. This bug is 
over 18 months old. Whether it was originally Microsoft's fault or not, 
I think 18 months is sufficient time for MySQL developers to find a way 
around it. My assumption is that MS Access users are a very small 
percentage of the MySQL user base, and an even smaller percentage of the 
*paying* user base. Seen in this light, it's to be expected that this 
problem gets little / no attention.

For the best solution, search on that bug page for 'msaccess.exe.local'. 
This appears to be the cleanest 'solution' while we're waiting for 
something better.
