Long CLOBS with VB

Question

Hi,
We are using VB Components from ASP to read/write data to CLOBS. The trouble is, we are having problems with text over 4k. We get the following error trying to insert text > 4k using the latest Oracle ODBC driver:
Ora-01704: String Literal too long.
I have looked through other postings related to this, and it seems that a solution may be to prepare/bind the statement. I was hoping that someone may have an example of doing this in VB, the code we use at the moment to insert data looks like this:
' Create the ADO objects
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = sConnect
cmd.CommandText = strSQL
cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
' Execute the query without returning a recordset
cmd.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords
Can anyone shed some light, and will we need to change the way that we read the data from the CLOBS also (we currently just use a tyical "Select X from Y" statement and assign the recordset to values like this:
sText = rs("A_CLOB_COL")
Thanks in advance,
R
