I have a problem using the OLE Control. I am able to convert a file in my hard disk into a blob that I put in an OLE Control using the objectdata property e.g a word documment or a bitmap for previewing purporses.

I then save the blob in the ASA database in a long binary column. If I then retrieve the blob using the SELECTBLOB command and try to save the object back to disk as a word document or a bitmap, the file cannot be opened by the original program but can only be seen using the OLE control.

What can I do so that the original program e.g paint or word can open the file after saving back to disk?
