This looks like it's just getting the NAME of the document from the
database, not the actual PDF itself from a database blob?    Is this code
segment correctly laid out?
 
cheers

Images, PDF files, and Movies can also be referenced dynamically and 
 then linked to from the Web page. This is accomplished by: 
  
FIELD Docs OF EMPLOYEES     Label  & 
 "<A HREF=/media/<!--PH:FIELD:EMPLOYEES:DOCS-->>Document</A>" 
                                                     or 
FIELD Docs OF EMPLOYEES       Label "Document"  
Title "<A HREF=/media/<!--PH:FIELD:EMPLOYEES:DOCS-->>View Document</A>" 

An example of the result page is attached.

We are actually using the blob fields to store images in PDF format. 
Currently, using PH for VMS and Reflections, we can extract the blob and 
display it on Windows using Adobe reader.   As I understand it however, 
the 
DO BLOB doesn't exist under PH Web, so I'm looking for another method to 
allow us to extract and display these PDF's over the web. 


cheers

Harold: 

  If you are viewing and editing text from your blob column then you 
  could use a multi-line scrollable field. PowerHouse Web should be able 

handle this situation. 
  It would be interesting to see if it can handle more text than that 
which 
can be displayed on one 
  screen. 

  DO BLOB uses the user interface embedded in the editing program most 
likely 
EDT for VMS. 

  You might be able to run you terminal version of PowerHouse under 
  Reflections for the Web 
  http://www.wrq.com/products/reflection/win/ruov/specs.html
<http://www.wrq.com/products/reflection/win/ruov/specs.html>  

  But that is not what you most likely need. I suspect you need to have 
a 
local editing capablitity. 
  But how do you keep the editing   under transaction control? Or do you 

need that? 
Regards, 
Peter
