Hi Rex,
>I need to be able to read/change the field and update the table on the SQL Server.
What type of binary data does the field contain? You're not going to be able to just convert it to text and make a change to it. Depending on what type of data it contains you'll probably have to bind it to a ActiveX control (VFP's OLEControl) to make changes to it.
Hope this helps....
