I started to try and write a system in Access and gave it up after a short while - I hate Access. Personal feelings aside :-) - can you connect to the MDBs with ODBC? Or possibly export to Excel and do your manipulation in Excel then re-import? Excel 2010 has a much higher limit that the 64k limit of previous versions.
