Problems with MS Access and MyODBC

Hello!

I have a VB6 program (haven´t written it myself) that uses an access2000 
compatible database as a customer register. I have to change the 
database so that it will use the customer register from a mysql 
database. Database has about 4800 customers. I have configured the 
database to export the customer table from a mysql using the myodbc 3.51 
driver (File->Get External Data->Link Tables), and it works fine for a 
moment, but after a while the vb6 program crashes. When I try handling 
the mySQL table again with MS Access it pops up "ODBC --call failed. 
(...) MySQL server has gone away (#2006)"
I´m not able to change the VB6 code nor the mySQL server settings.

Does this have something to do with keeping the connection alive or what 
("wait-timeout")? MySQL server is 4.1.20-log.

Thanks
-Pasi, Finland
