As long as Oracle will store the RTF data, you should be able to retrieve it, BUT - you will bestoring and retrieving the RTF coding as well as the RTF content AND you won't be able to manipulate, select on, or otherwise use the incoming BLOB in any formulae...

Are you trying to manipulate the data in this field in any way? For example, are you attempting to use this in a formula (which CR won't support) or in record selection?

It may be that the ODBC driver doesn't support this. CR supports RTF for export. Where did you see that it supports RTF through BLOB? Ken Hamady, On-site/Phone Crystal Reports Training/Consulting

To EarlGray,
I am not manipulating the data any way.
This is supposed to be my product details page. so they will not change in any way in crystal report. I just wanna hv them as a part of my quotation. so they will be printer as it is.
To kenhamady,
I did this in access where i had memo field. and i pasted the RTF data in this field. And when i viewed in CR it gave perfact results. I am using Oracle so there is doubt is in my mind so i am now checking with just 2 fields viz ID and desc ( Blob type).
about Article ID: c2008534 says about displaying richtext data from database to CR. I am using CR 8.5.
Also if according to you RTF data from Blob can not be displayed in CR then what is the way around ? Pls reply me soon.
Any yes i am so forgotfull,
Thank you both very much for yr continued efforts and suggestions.
regards

It looks like CR should be able to handle it according to the article, but your error is in ODBC. I am not sure how to help you there.

yahh thanks buddy for yr reply. Now my focus will be on my ODBC connection.
One thing I want to tell u that with the same connection my main program in VB works very fine.
Also if I dont select Blob data type field in my report and select just the id field it shows the data properly. It is just that my Blob field is not being displayed.
If you know cna help me in that it will be of great help.
Thanks and regards

Can the VB app pull this BLOB through ODBC? Then it might be a problem with the link between CR and ODBC, like the CR ODBC dll. Ken Hamady, On-site/Phone Crystal Reports Training/Consulting
