Daniel,

What is the max size of PDF or any other file that can be inserted this way?
BTW, In VFP8 and later STRCONV(, 15) can be used to convert string to hexa-decimal.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other way to retrieve binary data from SQL Server other than the hack with the General/Memo field described in Vlad's article.
