The files will not run in DOS, which is what they need to do. They do run in DOS prior to using FileToStr into the table and then StrToFile out of the table, so putting them into Memo fields corrupts them from working in DOS, I think. Any thoughts? Anyone?
That's precisely why you should use a memo binary, instead of a memo - to avoid corruption.
