Hi Jack,
After a great deal of testing I've found the cause of this problem. It
is caused by ADO when it finds high or very low ASCII characters in
adLongVarChar columns. The problem occured because newer versions of
pgAdmin set the ODBC drivers UnknownsAsLongVarChar option to 1 which
caused binary data to be presented as a LongVarChar.
If you'd like to test a new version (which also has some other new
features), please try the snapshot build from the binaries directory at
http://cvs.pgadmin.org/. Installation instructions are in the readme.
Regards, Dave.
