>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I am using FileStream in my SQL Server 2008 R2 database to store a PDF. I use this code:
>>>
>>>

UPDATE Claims
>>>	SET clm_Scan = CONVERT(VarBinary(max), N'MyFileName.pdf')
>>>	WHERE clm_PK = 'MyPK'

>>>
>>>I want to let the user now view the PDF, so I query the clm_scan field then use STRTOFILE() to create the file oon my disk, but when I try to open the PDF I get a message that "Adobe Reader could not open the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged..."
>>>
>>>Am I doing this right?
>>
>>Your update statement doesn't look correct already. You're just converting the name of the file.

>>Although, may be I'm wrong as BOL shows the exact same syntax

If that's the case, I posted it in the link I gave you.
