Hi!
I maintain a largish application that was once written for vax/vms and mimer database.
This was then migrated to oracle, and later on, to windows and aix. But still oracle. 
Having that said, there is a large portion of code out at customers, that we do not want to change,
If we migrate them from aix+oracle to windows+sqlserver.

A couple of years ago, I ported the application to use sql-server as db, and we have some 
sites in production now, on sql-server. It runs fairly good overall, but there is one thing
That comes up time after time.
If we 

select * from sometable

And retrive the colunms in another order than the selcect presents them, we get a failure.
I know this is the client lib 'optimising' by dropping data it does think i do not want. 

I wonder if there exists such an odbc client lib other than the one that get installed on the server,
That allows me to retrive values from a resultset in the column order i like?
