Problem accessing DateTime fields using VB5 RDO

Client is VB5 (sp3) on NT4 (sp4). Server is Informix DS 7.3 on NT4. ODBC is Informix CLI 2.8. Access method is RDO. Problem: A column is defined as DateTime (hour to minute). A Select done using ExecDirect returns 00:00:00 for the column, irrespective of the actual value. After some test, it seems that only columns defined as DateTime (year to second) return the correct value. Anything else with time data returns unexpected results. The ODBC driver is not to blame. When using the ODBC API, it returns the correct data. It seems that RDO is the problem. Any idea? Bashar Chalabi Card Tech Ltd, London
