I'm experimenting with some code to deploy forms from
a development database to the production database by
directly putting them into the SYS_FORMS3 table of the
production database.

I SCONNECT the production database, and SATTACH the
SYS_FORMS3 table as FormsTarget.  I can select from
the table and see the rows.

However, if I try to issue a DELETE against
FormsTarget I get a message from the ODBC Driver
Manager saying "Program type out of range".  I can
successfully push the DELETE command through SSQL (of
course change the table name back to SYS_FORMS3) and
the appropriate row will be deleted.

When I then try to INSERT a row into FormsTarget using
the INSERT INTO FormsTarget SELECT * FROM SYS_FORMS3 .
.  syntax I get the same error.  This time, there's no
way to push the command through SSQL since I need the
LONG VARCHAR values from the SYS_FORMS3 datbase.

Does anyone have any experience directly updating the
forms and reports tables in an SCONNECTED database
like this?
