The benefit of not reading what people write to you is that I didn't even see the MEMO word in your initial message. <g> And so I used the correct syntax.
Now I am working on getting the Excel file back from the blob field into the drive. Baby steps <g>.
Thank you.
UPDATE. Using StrToFile() works for converting the string back to the Excel.
