Hey.. that looks like something I wrote! :)

What about:

  Dim rst As Recordset
  Set rst = odbcConn.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot, dbExecDirect)

>     Me.RecordSource = qry.SQL

This part I'm not sure about (it's been a long time away from Access).
Can you just set Me.RecordSource = rst ?  If so, forget making a query.
Also, keep in mind that this would give you a snapshot recordset.  Change
the args to OpenRecordset as necessary.
