>>SQL Server native client 11.0 is not working correctly with varchar(max) column. I think that was the reason we used that driver. However, I think ODBC driver (the latest version) should work for us (it seems to be working correctly for varchar(max) and we're not using date columns, so we should be OK).

Found this thread which is a bit old:

I'm guessing we would need to re-test - we're using DSN for our connections.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
