You could create an OLE object in Forms, and store a Word document in it.

The appropriate underlying data type in the database depends on what version you're using: Long RAW was good in 7.3.4.

But, of course, there are then limits on what you can do with the "text", since Oracle no longer recognises it as text. Forget SUBSTR, querying, and in fact almost any other sort of manipulation. Received on Sun Sep 30 2001 - 02:03:44 CEST
