Hi, 

We have faced a very strange problem. We are running a firebird 2.5 database 
with the following table structure.

CREATE TABLE TEST (
    ID    INTEGER NOT NULL,
    MEMO  BLOB SUB_TYPE 1 SEGMENT SIZE 80,
    DATO  TIMESTAMP
);
ALTER TABLE TEST ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEST PRIMARY KEY (ID);


We are using Firebird 2.5.1 + ODBC 2.0.0.151 on Windows 7.
We use Delphi XE, with TADOConnection + TADODataSet + TDataSetProvider + 
TClientDataSet to connect to the database. 

The problem is when we insert (or update) a new record into the ClientDataSet 
and updating the field MEMO. (TMemoField) (This has been working perfekt in FB 
1.5 and with all versions of MS SQL server).
Now with a firebird 2.5 database we get the error message "Arguments are of the 
wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another." 
when running from the Delphi IDE, but no error if we run outside. The big 
problem is that the time part of the field DATO is gone when we update the 
field MEMO. If we don't include the MEMO field, everything is OK.  

I have made a small demo project illustrating the problem.

All tips and hints will be highly appreciated!
