What environment are you developing in btw?

I have had issues before when trying to access an oracle database with the MS ODBC drivers. Often, conversion between oracle and MS datatypes can cause problems like this.

I have had excellent results using Oracles database development drivers, primarily because they are explicitly written to handle Oracle data types and operations.

If you are developing in .NET, get the Oracle ODP.NET data provider, it can be downloaded from from the OTN website. They also have thier own version of odbc drivers from older development environments, but I cannot attest to their suitability as I have not used them.

Andy,
I have had the same issue before. I downloaded a newer driver from Oracle and it seemed to fix the problem.
