FIX: Parameter query on linked tables returns no records

When you run a parameter query so you can query a table that is linked to Microsoft SQL Server, the query may return no records. However, you expect some records to be returned.

This issue occurs when the Microsoft Jet database engine truncates parameter values in the parameter queries. These queries are run against tables that are linked to SQL Server.

To resolve this issue, obtain the latest Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack that contains an updated version of the Jet 4.0 database engine.

To work around this issue, use a pass-through query.

This problem was corrected in Jet 4.0 database engine Service Pack 7.
