What kind of file are you trying to open? I assume it is something other than a SQL Server database. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Ryan Schoolman Guest Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2004 5:56 pm    Post subject: Re: file content Bill, I am trying to read in the contents of say an exe or zip file and than return the results from a query.

It is not very difficult, but read the documentation carefully. The function van return the BLOB data, but I am not sure if it can return more than 8000 bytes. If not, you will have to return the content in several chunks and use TEXTPTR function / UPDATETEXT command. I have no experience with returning data by user-defined function, but writing a DLL expanding the server with two functions sending SMS (through attached mobile phone) and e-mails was about three hours work.
