[Zope] Re: Updating BLOB fields in Interbase database

[Ashley]

Hi bobb, thanks for your reply.

If I found the right post (reading an image from blob in mysql and
displaying it), then thanks very much but I don't think it'll apply too much
to my situation. I can retrieve the contents of the blob field fine, its
updating it that causes the problems.

Thanks again, though.

I posted directly out of Outlook Express, by the way, just hitting "New
Post".

Kind regards

Ashley
