Paul,

I've just spent some time playing with this in the debugger, and it seems
that there is something odd about the Foxpro ODBC driver. Basically, the
second time a LongVarChar column is accessed, it's value gets set NULL.

Anyway, I've committed a fix to CVS to work around this - if you're happy to
use development code, you can get the updated binaries from
http://cvs.pgadmin.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/binaries/ (I'd suggest using the
'Download Tarball' link).

To install them, use the following procedure:

1) Backup your system.
2) From the tarball, copy the .ocx, .dll's and .exe over the existing copies
which are
normally installed under one of the following directories:

C:\Program files\pgAdmin2
C:\Program files\pgAdmin2\Exporters
C:\Program files\pgAdmin2\Plugins

3) From the Start -> Run box, for each file you installed run a command
similar to:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\pgAdmin2\<filename>"

NOTE: pgSchema.dll must be registered first.

Regards, Dave.
