Please send the driver log which shows the query that is generating the
above failure. Either the driver's commlog or the odbc trace log would do.
The more info the better.

BTW, I have tested the driver with large objects in MS Access and it seems
to work fine -- I can send and receive OLE objects from/to the database.
So, perhaps its something in MFC that needs to be tweeked.
