Hi,
Although I dont expect Microsoft take immediate action on this, I just hope they will fix it.
Its hard for me to explain what happens, just if you are using Microsoft Access Data Connectivity Components 2010 in your application to read data from mdb access files, you might get unexpected exceptions and your application will crash!
To reproduce this behavior the best way is to run my sample application which will allow you to see the bug directly in no time.
This behavior may occur at any time, any where, but I found if you use Application.DoEvents, you increase the chance to run your application to crash.
To reproduce ::
1. You should not have any Office version installed on your system (I am using Windows 7 x64).

2. Please install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 x86 (or x64 and youll have to set your project to x64).

3. Download and run my sample application in VB.NT 2010, and press the button, you will get it :(

Where is Microsoft going, do you think?
Should I hope to receive an official response?
