Not answering your question (sorry), but...

Why are you TDD'ing against a "golden copy" of the database? IMO you'd be
better off working against an empty database, where you wouldn't be
restricted to performing tests inside a single transaction and rolling back.
And given that it's Access, having a local copy to ravage to your
satisfaction ought to be fairly easy.

Then again, the restriction/discipline of single-transaction-per-test might
lead you to better design... but that's a thought for a different list.
