RE: ODBC parameter truncated error

Pete,

If the Client Access ODBC driver requires you to rebind before every
statement execution than there is a bug in the driver. The SQLBindCol
section of the ODBC reference rather clearly states: "The binding remains in
effect until it is replaced by a new binding, the column is unbound, or the
statement is freed."

Now there are issues that you need to account for in the way VB handles
strings -- VB feels that it ca freely move strings to another location
whenever it wants to -- but if you have accounted for these issues the ODBC
driver should allow a bind to work across executions. If it isn't, I'd
report it to IBM as a bug.
