Interesting observation that I had not seen before:
I got the query running.
But the first time it ran, it took 20+ seconds. My timeout was 30 seconds
and apparently if I had reset the timeout longer, it would have run. I
tweaked the stored procedure, cut it down slightly, enough for the query to
get under 30 seconds. Once it had run that first time, it now runs in under 1
second, same as the stored procedure.
I had run the query several times from QA, so that the stored procedure
would compile, but inspite of this it seemed like it had to compile
separately on the Access side.
