Any news on this problem. Is there a later version of ODBC (our's or
Microsoft's) that can cope with Quadwords.

    You'll need version 7.0 of our product.  It encodes the database key as
    CHAR(16), converting binary bytes into two ASCII text characters by
    splitting bytes into two 4-bit nibbles and converting the binary values
    into their equivalent ASCII codes.  In this way, only text strings are
    stored (no null bytes).
    
    Version 7.0 is in beta test.
    
    For anyone needing a solution for transfer into Sybase databases,
    version 6.0-11 has a fix (but only for Sybase).
