Firebird BLOB from MSACCESS VB

Oct 23rd, 2006

Hi All,

I'm trying get access to a Firebird BLOB field. I have linked the input table using ODBC(FB 1.5).
I have tried to extract the blob content various ways, so far unsuccessfully.
Is there any way I could declare the BLOB_get, BLOB_open FBCLIENT.DLL functions in MSAccess code module? If so does anybody know the correct syntax for the declaration (parameters, their type and the result returning method)?
Is it feasible to use the: Declare function BLOB_get Lib "fbclient.dll" (params as....) as result_type for Firebird data communication functions?

Thanks for any idea
