Hi Adrian,
1. We are storing our large objects in a table column whose datatype is "lo" (which, I understand, ultimately is in fact "bytea").
2. The error messge returned to the VB is, yes, very generic. And the backend postgres server does not have any messages relevant to this issue.
3. We set the trace on in the odbc driver and got a large log file, from which I give below the part that I think is significant. It refers to the "buffer size being too small". Where, in the odc settings, do we set the buffer size?

Hmm, to me at least nothing seems out of place. Though to be honest I am not sure what 'Bytea as LO' does in this situation.
Are you actually trying to store any large objects in bytea columns?
I searched on the error message you originally posted, but is fairly generic and covers a lot of different error sources.
So, is there any more specific error information in either the Postgres or ODBC logs?
