Bill, I'm experiencing the same problem as you, the difference is that I'm trying to store .PDF files in SQL Server.

Please take a look in thread #918564 and thread #930283.

By now I'm just dealing with an ASP page to show the PDF files. Please see message #930596 to get to the point I'm now.

You can try this code below to store the TIF file in a type Text column and not in a type Image column:

 cSQLDataSource = "YourDSN"
 cSQLUserId     = "YourUserId"
 cSQLPassword   = "YourPassword"

 nSQLHandle = SqlConnect (cSQLDataSource, cSQLUserId, cSQLPassword)

* Storing the TIF file

 cBase64 = StrConv (FileToStr ("C:\temp\Your TIF File.Tif"), 13)

 cSQLString = "Insert Into YourSqlTable (Text_Column) " + ;
              "                  Values (cBase64    ) "

 SQLexec (nSQLHandle, cSQLString)

* Retrieving the TIF file

 cSQLString = "Select Text_Column From YourSqlTable"

 SQLexec (nSQLHandle, cSQLString, "CurResult")
 
 Select CurResult

 StrToFile (StrConv (Text_Column, 14), "C:\temp\Your TIF File.Tif")

 SqlDisconnect (nSQLHandle)

If I can give you any further help, please let me know.

Regards,

Fernando
