Okay, you can launch a .DOC file via OLE automation and MS Word will
open the file.  But, alas, it's a REAL FILE on your hard disk -- wasting
valuable space and directory resources.
Wouldn't it be great to have the whole file in a field within a SQL
Server table... maybe as a BLOb field?  
How can you do this, though?  You can only associate a TOLEContainer
object to a FILE... or am I wrong?
Has anyone tried this?

David,
You're wrong. There are two ways (at least) to handle what you are trying to
do.
1) Save document to temporary files, stream the file in a variable, stream
the variable in a BlobStream opened on a ttable or Tquery field.

2) Stream the entire component (OLEContainer) in a Database BLOB field

I can send you some doc if you wish
