How do I display and update a text blob field in a table

[MikeR]

How do I display and update a blob field in a table using netwebbrowse and netwebform.
The blob field contains text, not an image.
I want to show the text and allow it to be updated, it may be small or very large .. ... ?

Hi Mike,

Blobs aren't supposed to contain "text" - the correct field for that is a Memo. So I'd need to look to see if using a Blob in this way is possible. You want to edit the text as well, so that's another issue.

So, if you can, use a Memo field for this rather than a blob.

cheers

Thanks Bruce, Its actually a MicroSoft SQL Table, the field is Type text.
When you import it into dictionary it comes over as blob.
Will memo work ?
I finally used a local variable on the form and initialized it in 'restore' embed and updated it 'in just before writing to disk' embed.
