I'm trying to extract en masse 1000 PDF files out of an MS
Access 2000 db to a default directory. Using Microsoft's
instructions for Writing Blobs I succeeded in bringing
down what was in the OLE fields.
2 Problems: First, I don't have a seperate field that
holds the filename (that has to be extracted from the OLE
field information somehow), and second, the file is
unusable because Adobe says, "...it is not supported or
has been corrupted...".
I'm assuming that there has to be some sort of filter I
have to push the binary data through to have it come out
as a PDF.
Any ideas? Much Thanks.
