Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Forms 4.5 - OLE container format
Hello,
I am working on a web application based on Oracle Applications version 10.7
based on Forms 4.5 fmx.
My web application has to show attachments for a Purches Order (or any other
object).
The Attachments table has two columns - a key (named media id) and the
attachment column which its type is long raw.
The block that handes the attachment is very simple block - based on that
table, and the long raw is handled by the control called OLE Container.
My question is what does this control do to the doc file when it being saved
on the DB ???
when i export the Long Raw column as a stream (using any exporting program)
and try to read the file with Word,
Word telles me that this file is of unknown format.
For the same reason i can't send it to the browser with content-type
application/msword.
I also tried to create a small program with Visual Basic that will read this
column and display it on a control name OLE Container, but again it couldn't
recognize the format.
Thanks, Haggai. Received on Fri Apr 07 2000 - 09:10:37 CDT
