Example program using the BLOB (Binary Larg OBject) examples using a data control in VB-Pro 3.0 (Source & EXE). This is the test file I created to test the functionality of the example code provided by MS. I had to rework the functions a little (the original functions wrote files 10 bytes larger than read in) but all in all the same basic code found in the VB Help file under 'GetChunk & AppendChunk'. This test program has been tested with 20+ mb files stored into an OLE field and seems to work fine. The code is not commented except for thoes from the VB Help file. There are several places in both the VB docs and the MS-Access docs that imply that this functionality could be used on MEMO or OLE fields, however after testing this I found that using a MEMO field will trash the Database with the error message "Out Of Memory". My hope in posting this file is that MS-Tech support will document the code in a sutable maner and include it in the KB for others that may need it. I will not support this code nor do I expect MS to support it. All code is AS IS and all risks in using it are yours. I may be contacted via EMAIL on CIS, as I do not monitor the message areas. Have Fun & hope it helps someone Gary W. Rohn 76050,1012
