I guess I've answered my own question... an animated gif file is 
actually *several* layered images. No bloody wonder I was getting the 
aforementioned error when I attempted to store it in the SQL Server 
table. On the brighter side of things, I've stumbled across a way to 
store and retrieve other binary files; specifically .jpg's, in a table, 
w/o resorting to using the ADODB.Stream object. If there's any interest, 
I'll post the code.
