I'm converting a MS Access database to a mySQL database. All seems to be fine. But I have problems with MS Access fields of the type (german) OLE-Objekt (probably OLE object in the English version). These fields are converted to LONGBLOBs. In Access, I can fill these fields with graphics or other OLE objects either embedded or referenced. Even with Access as a front end to a mySQL server it is possible to copy and paste data into these fields. But as soon as I leave the data set and come back, the fields seem to be empty. I receive no error message at all. It only seems to be so that Access cannot handle the information in the field in the right way. Access front end with a genuine Access database can determine the type of the OLE object in the field, Access with a mySQL server database can't. Is this true? Please give me information as concerning this problem and how to handle graphics and embedded object with a mySQL server.
