 Binary data types

I want to save the contents of a hex file into a Access table. I tried
converting it to ASCII and writing it to a memo field, but it lost some data
on translation. The first part of it was okay, but the end was wrong.

Maybe I should be saving it as some kind of OLE object, but it doesn't have
any type of file associated with it.

Any thought on how I can do this?

I think it works but you may be exceeding the length of the memo field.  Try
using a smaller hex file and see if it changes.
