What exactly is the error?  Do you have a line number and source file
name?  Which versions of sql.h and FreeTDS are you using?  

64-bit ODBC can be a challenge due to 32-bit assumptions baked into the
ODBC API.  It sounds like somewhere you're trimming off the high word of a
pointer.  I would engage Google with that in mind.  

HTH.
