Sorry about that. Here's the driver information and some code. Thanks.
Driver Name: PostgreSQL ANSI Version: 9.02.01.00
constr = "Driver={PostgreSQL ANSI}; Server=servername; Port=5432; Database=databasename; Uid=username; Pwd=password;" With conn .ConnectionString = (constr) .Open End With
SQL = "SELECT data FROM pg_largeobject WHERE loid = " & id & " ORDER BY pageno" rs.Open SQL, conn
stream.Type = adTypeBinary stream.Open
' Loop through the recordset and write the binary data to the stream While Not rs.EOF stream.Write rs.Fields("data").Value rs.MoveNext Wend

You don't say with which driver.
ODBC can be a bit twitchy with data types, and I have seen several drivers fail when they attempt to read the .Value, some of the driver don't pass through the adTypeBinarry and allocate a MAX_LENGTH string of 255 for the read buffer. I haven't tested the current driver from pg.org, but when I did a few months ago, it correctly handled the .Type field and allocated the length appropriately.
Some version information and source would make this far easier to resolve.

Is there any way to get all of the data in a large object returned to a recordset (not just the first 255 bytes)?
