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
