Inserting Binary Data into MS Access 2000 DB

I have spent the last week trying to figure this out. At home: Win2k Pro. IIS Running. Access 2000. Table: NAME text PIC OLE Insert PHP Code---------------------This works at home <?php $dbConn = odbc_connect("MYDB","",""); $b_pic = addslashes( fread( fopen($userPicFile, "r"), filesize($userPicFile))); $insQry = "INSERT INTO MyTable (NAME,PIC) VALUES ('$name','$b_pic')"; odbc_exec($dbConn, $insQry); ?> -------------------------------------- At work: WinNT 4.0. Running IIS. Access 2000. Table: FIRST text LAST text PIC OLE Insert PHP Code------------------------This returns an error <?php $dbConn = odbc_connect("MYDB","",""); $b_pic = addslashes( fread( fopen($userPicFile, "r"), filesize($userPicFile))); $insQry = "INSERT INTO MyTable (FIRST,LAST,PIC) VALUES ('$firstName','$lastName','$b_pic')"; odbc_exec($dbConn, $insQry); ?> ------------------------------------------ The error (it is always this error when the binary data is part of the string): Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]COUNT field incorrect , SQL state 07001 in SQLExecDirect in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mailjob-upload.php on line 6 This is the same code with one extra field. At work if I make it the same as my databse at home, it still generates this error. The database is being accessed via a SystemDSN Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb). No user, no password. I've done a search on the net for SQL 07001 and found NOTHING useful. If I eliminate ALL the binary variables (like $b_pic) the query works. I.e. INSERT INTO MyTable (FIRST,LAST) VALUES ('$firstName','$lastName'); I have a database that has 30 elements to insert, of which, 6 are binary fields (files). Thanks in advance. Randall Barber P.S. - I even used Access Qry builder and cut/paste the statement into the script. No go. I can print the string (after substitution) and everything looks ok. All special characters are escaped (i.e. \').
