[delphi-en] Finding Memo fields

[Nesler, Thomas J]

Hello!

 

I am writing a general purpose Export/Import utility and I need to
handle memo fields differently when I am copying data from one table to
another.

 

I tried doing this:

 

  Try

     Stream1 := TBlobStream.Create(Table1.Fields[X], bmRead);

     Stream2 := TBlobStream.Create(Table2.Fields[X], bmRead);

     Stream2.CopyFrom(Stream1, Stream1.Size);

     except

     Showmessage('Unable to Copy Memo field');

     ErrorCode := True;

     end;

 

But I got this syntax error message:  [Error] Export.pas(114):
Incompatible types: 'TBlobField' and 'TField'

 

The "X" variable denotes the position of the field in the field
structure.  What do I call the field in my code?

I have already trapped for the fields that are memo fields in my
procedure.

 

I hope this makes sense...;-)
