How to get query plans (showplan.out) from Access 2010?

I\'m trying to figure out how to execute a dynamic append query in Access 2010 against an ODBC database table (see question 12592953) and someone suggested enabling the show

Thanks @Fionnuala

For Access 2010 32 bit You will need the following key:

On Windows 7 32 bit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access Connectivity Engine\Engines\Debug]
"JETSHOWPLAN"="ON"

or on Windows 7 64 bit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access Connectivity Engine\Engines\Debug]
"JETSHOWPLAN"="ON"

I needed to create the folder Debug to put the key in.

You will need the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access Connectivity Engine\Engines\Debug]
"JETSHOWPLAN"="ON"

The above is exported from my Windows 7 registry running Access 2010, and produces showplan.out for me.
