What version of MDAC are you using? I have MDAC 2.6 and text fields are returned on the RS just fine. Make sure that the specific row you are trying to access actually has data. If this is not your problem then you may want to post some code to better assess what is happening.

As to the table name, you can access the query string used for the RS by looking at the Source property.
