Vern and all other people who answered: thanks.

Some more information on this thread:
I searched as suggested for the SQL_DECIMAL and digged in all directions. Didn't find any thing clear.


Then I tried something else:
Since I am having problems with VB..., went into Borland's Delphi, and defined the "remote DataBase" under BDE Administrator using BDE engine via ODBC.


Using Borland SQL Explorer I could access CMF data without problems, even those CFPLVL and CFTLVL that are defined as 15/5... This I expected, for as mentioned before, had no problems either with MS Word, Excel, Access...

Then I wrote a simple Delphy program accessing same CMF file using same BDE definition. This, I expected to fail, just as with the original VB program I started with... Surprise, everything worked correct.

So, if ODBC works well with 15/5 fields for MS Word, Excel, Access and also for Borland's SQL Explorer, and also for a Delphi program... why should it fail for a VB program?

It's driving me nuts... Thanks everybody.
