MS Access crashes when opening an MySql table

Hi Folks

A newbie to the forum but not MySql or the ODBC driver

I have been successfully using the 5.3 ODBC driver in MSAcess - no problem.
Though there is one annoying problem which doesn't worry me - when I link the MYSql tables - they display the content as "Deleted" - F% refresh fixes but sometimes the data is not accurate - I got around problem using ADO direct to the table without problem.

My latest problem that is beating me is I have linked to a new website project with a backend MySql - I can open ALL tables - without problem - but 1 table = Orders - links but if I try to open it Crashes Access - every time - if I do an ADO call to open for a recordset I get an error (but no other table gives error).
The problem are 2 fields in the table type JSON (essentially LongText) but MSAccess does not like - I have upgraded to the latest driver 8.0 but no success - it CRASHES Access totally without writing a log. The problem are these 2 fields as I got the web developer to create a copy of the database and remove these 2 fields - and all was fine.

Any help to work with these fields - I have tried to modify the driver through the ODBC setup but nothing works.
