Can anoyone answer this? I know I posted the other day, and I'm sorry for re-posting, but if anyone can help I'd be very grateful! Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------- I am quite new to Zope, and I am attempting to implement a Zope application connecting to an existing Interbase database (using Kinterbasdb). I don't seem to have many problems, but do have one with a BLOB field in the database (subtype text). Reading from it is not a problem, but attempting to write to it I get an error (-413, 'execute.isc_dsql_execute: conversion error from string "BLOB". '). I have tried various changes to the type of the input field, and to the insert SQL, but I've had no luck. I have read various postings here and there with similar questions. I seem to get the idea that I can't do this. Can anyone confirm this or preferably explain how wrong I am and why! Thanks in advance, Ashley _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
