Can you give us an idea what your SQL looks like? Also, are you using the Oracle ODBC driver or Microsoft's? IF MS, try using the Oracle driver. An example SQL should look like:

SET field1 = ?cTextValue, field2 = ?nNumericValue, ...

declare PRIVATE variables for cTextValue, nNumericValue, etc. You can RTRIM() the text values first so your varchar2 data types will be useful to you later on.
