   SQL Server 'bigint' values are 8-bytes, or 64-bits.  While VB.NET has a   
   specific SQL variable types to mirror each SQL Server data type, I'm working   
   in VB6.  So what is the best way to manipulate, or at least retrieve and   
   store 64-bit values in SQL Server?   
      
   Considerations are:   
      
   1: Variant   
   2: Type value using a pair of 32-bit long integers.   
   3: A class object to handle it, and could track null values as well.   
   4: Other   
      
   What won't work include:   
      
   1: Double precision float (not enough precision)   
   2: Currency (can't handle the maximum 64-bit values)   
      
   Suggestions?
