Actually if you do this from VFP or return this data from a VFP COM object BinaryWrite alone will not do the trick.

I wrote an article in FoxPro Advisor about this issue actually and it was published in last months FPA.

You need to use CreateBinary() in VFP on any binary data that is returned or written to a COM object such as the ASP Response object.
