I don't know much of the internal's of ODBC but here's what I'm
wondering...

box in creation of the ODBC ini file (or the .DSN file actually in the
case of MS) that says (something similar to) 'Treat unknown datatypes
as LongVarChar' but it seems to have no effect turned on or off. Does
our drive not support this? Is MS just show it normal 'excellence in
programming'? Any ideas?

I have no idea. But others are likely to. Usually best to hit the lists
directly to get a better mix of ideas early on.

Someone else?
