OLE and Blobs in SQL--How to display using ASP

L

Larry Bud

Our old PowerBuilder programmers stored a variety of binary files
(word, gif, jpg, tiff) in a SQL database IMAGE field, and PB puts OLE
header info on the data.

So now we're trying to open those files using ASP.... I have no way to
know what the type of file is, unless I can decode the OLE wrapper.

PLEASE don't point me to the MS knowledge base article talking about
retrieving BMPs from Access....
