Cause
The driver automatically maps Salesforce objects and fields to tables and columns the first time it connects to a Salesforce instance. The driver maps both standard and custom objects and includes any relationships defined between objects. The driver uses a local embedded database to instantiate the mapping of the remote data source objects to tables and the metadata associated with those tables. The driver creates a database per user. The embedded database is created in the directory from which the application is run and uses the user ID specified for the connection as the name of the database. Anytime a new Salesforce object is created this local database will need to be updated so the new objects can be viewed
Resolution
Set CreateDB = 1 (Force New)
The connection option "CreateDB" will force the creation of a new local database.   

To avoid a possible performance issues change the parameter back to the default
Set CreateDB = 2 (NotExist)

NOTE: The Create Database connection option has been replaced by the new Create Map option in version 8.0. The CreateDB attribute will continue to be supported for the 8.0 release, but it will be deprecated in subsequent versions of the product.

When using MS Access, users will need to drop and recreate the linked tables additionally.
