- 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
