It sould be possible if you can find where actual document starts in a General field. For example, PDF always starts with '%PDF-'.

>That is some interesting code. Do you know or does anyone knows if the same technique could be used to extract a DOC, XLS and PDF to preserve their intact format? Because, when we use the Object.SaveAs() property, in this case a Word file, the file that ends up being saved on the disk is way corrupted.
