Here is the code that invokes the function:

DIMENSION aBlobData[nFileSize] AS Byte
thisform.oNPVD.GetvFBDBlob(nFileID, aBlobData)

Here is the code at the beginning of GetvFBDBlob:

FUNCTION GetFBDBlob(nFileID AS Integer, aBlobData AS Byte ) AS Integer
   EXTERNAL ARRAY aBlobData
   LOCAL nResult AS Integer, nBlobSize AS Integer
   MESSAGEBOX("length of aBlobData: " + STR(ALEN(aBlobData)))

When I build the COM, and then run my VFP client, I get an error message saying "ABLOBDATA is not an array"

I have tried calling with and without '@" in the call: GetvFBD(nFileID, @aBlobData) and GetvFBD(nFileID, aBlobData). Get the same error message.
