    varbinary(max) column in SQL Server is a Binary in the linked Access table

    The column in question is a varbinary(max) in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, migrated over from the original MS Access 2000 database. When I do an ODBC link from SQL Server tables to MS Access 2000, the linked table shows that the column is a binary (with 512 length) in the MS Access design view. I want it to be an OLE Object, so that it shows on reports as a signature. This is what it does in a similar database setup, and shows on reports as a signature, so I can't figure out what I did different.

    when I link my tables on a computer that has Access 2000 SP3, I have no problem, the Access linked table shows it as an OLE Object, and the report shows the signature.
    When I link my tables on a computer that has Access 2000 SP1, that's my problem, so I'll just have to upgrade.
    Thanks for viewing.
