Using C++ SQL to Add Relationship to Microsoft Access Table - c++

Question

I'm trying to add a CONSTRAINT/RELATIONSHIP between two Microsoft Access Tables using C++ (MFC-based) (through ODBC) with the following SQL Command:
ALTER TABLE [JobSettingsReporting]
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_PerEntry
FOREIGN KEY (JobSetID)
REFERENCES JobSettingsEntry(JobSetID)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE
I tried to do it with this:
CDatabase db;
db.OpenEx(App().GetDBConnectString());
db.ExecuteSQL(strSQL);
db.Close();
where strSQL is the Query above. I'm getting the error:
Syntax error in CONSTRAINT clause.
It seems the problem is with the "ON UPDATE CASCADE" and "ON DELETE CASCADE" components. I get the same error when I use the Query Design tool (or in VB) within Microsoft Access.
However, when I do the following in VB in Microsoft Access, it works:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection 'For action queries
Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection
cn.Execute "ALTER TABLE [JobSettingsReporting]
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_PerEntry
FOREIGN KEY (JobSetID)
REFERENCES JobSettingsEntry(JobSetID)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE"
This command also seems to work in SQL Server Express when directly using the Query Window.
It is my understanding that I need to use Jet/ADO to issue this command in C++ for it to work but I'm having trouble finding the syntax. I need to add this relationship programmatically so that it will update the databases on all the deployed machines.
Any help would be appreciated.
