I am trying to develop a system where Adobe pdf documents are stored in a SQL server database. The method I am using to "store" the files is an MSAccess front end. I have an unbound form with an Object Frame and a few other text boxes for extraneous information. I try to place the pdf document in the object frame with the menu command Insert/Object and then run an SQL script to append the object (and other data fields) to the destination table in the SQL database. The trouble I am having is that the field in the destination table is "Image(16)". Every object I append to the table in the method described above fills the entire memory space allotted for that field. Thus a 20Kb pdf file will become a 5+ Mb object once in the field. I don't need to know the mechanics of why this is happening. I just was wondering if there were others who have experienced this (or similar) issue and what can I do to fix it. Thanks in advance for you assistance. Should I cross post this to AccessD list? Stephen R.
