Use a URL hyperlink to the PDF file. I.e. Rather than display the BLOB/PDF file in the record in the PH Web form display a hyerlink to the PDF file. The user then clicks the link and Acrobat Reader will open with the selected PDF file.

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
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
