Hi all, I have a database that I want to read from linux, in which the Memo field contains variable length binary data actually a list of double precision numbers. The problems are: 1. The memo is reported with max length of 255, however it contains more than 255 characters. MS-Access it claims that the Memo can be up to 64k 2. Since the memo field contains binary data, it contains also '00'x characters which forces the mdb-export to stop on the first null char, rather dumping the whole string. How can I extract the binary data (length and actual data) unprocessed so I can access the numbers Best Regards Vasilis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
