Hi Paul,
I'm not sure for certain whether or not this is fixed in 4.3Ab (I
think it is). however, someone was kind enough to forward me the fix
when I had this problem. If you replace the problematic procedure
with:

The new one is:
var
tmpS: string;
begin
tmpS := AsString;
if tmpS = '' then
Result := 0
else
case SQLType of
SQL_FLOAT,
SQL_FLOAT_: Result := AsFloat;
SQL_DOUBLE,
SQL_DOUBLE_: Result := AsDouble;
else
if SQLScale = 0 then
Result := StrToInt( tmpS )
else
Result := StrToFloat( tmpS );
end;
end;

It should fix it (see message ID 30280 for more info).
HTH,
Stuart Hunt
