Hi everyone, Got a problem, hopefully somebody can help. I am using Mysql version 3.22.32 and MyODBC version 2.50.3300 to connect to a Lotus Approach 97 front-end. I have a number of fields that are of the type "blob" which match up to the field type "memo" in Lotus Approach. If I insert data into the "blob" fields directly from the backend I have no problem viewing the data from the Lotus front-end. However if I try to write data to the "blob" field via the frontend the backend does not seem to be reading it in. I have connected the same backend to a Microsoft Access frontend with no problems - being able to write and retrieve data from the backend. Unfortunately due to the nature of the project I need to have it working with the Lotus Approach front-end. Is this a known problem? Has anybody had similar problems? Do later release solve the problem? --- Faizal Mangera Systems Department CarnaudMetalbox Engineering Shipley West Yorkshire BD17 7AY Tel: 01274 846386 Fax: 01274 846201 [EMAIL PROTECTED] CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE The information contained in this e-mail is intended only for the confidential use of the above named recipient.
