Hi David,

We read the word documetn into memvar by using this:

w_retval = ""
w_fh = FOPEN(p_fn, 0)
IF w_fh >= 0
w_flen = FSEEK(w_fh, 0,2)
=FSEEK(w_fh, 0,0)
w_retval = FREAD(w_fh, w_flen)
=FCLOSE(w_fh)
ENDIF

We then save this back to a memo field in the Foxpro View of the SQL Table.

Then when we try and reopen the document it errors. I have read somewhere that binary information passed back to SQL from Foxpro was changed. In that SQL modified some of the characters passed back from Foxpro. My understanding is that the Image type doesnt do this just the text type.

I think I need to some more reading and maybe just try it out and see what happens.

Thanks for your input.

Jon
