SQLDescribeParam() is not and will not be supported until:

1.  We have an SQL parsing implementation, or
2.  Microsoft provides support for it on the server.  

Don't hold your breath for either one.  :-(  

To the ODBC library, your prepared statement looks like:

	blah blah blah %1 blah blah

To know anything about that %1 it's necessary to know about most of those
blahs.  

HTH.
