The types are determined by the program designer. ODBC requires a schema. If you made the DB, you know the schema (then you know the data types). If you use the DB import utility, have it generate the .bas file to access the data. Use the file to determine the data types. If you didn't make the app, ask the designer or use the DB import utility to figure out the data types. Use your MSDN library to help determine the byte width of the variables if you don't already know. Its not difficult at all.
