blob streaming problem - trailer and header ???

[Jimreaper]

Help!
I'm trying to save a binary blob , temporarily stored in a disconnected recordset, from oracle 9i to a local file using adodb.stream. For some reason the file is corrupted at the beginning and end of the binary string. Either the DB or VB is adding a Header and Trailer of some sort.
I've tried getChunk instead of Stream with the same results.

Your help is appreciated.
Thank you
Jim
ps.
The ole object/blob is a .pdf file

I found the problem. In case anyone has the same. It turns out MS Access 97 corrupted the files. I used an ODBC linked Access table to upload the initial blob files. I guess Access needs the Header.
