We are using the ADO component to read a binary blob column in a table
       the  rsStream.Open succeeds
       when we try to call the rsstream.read  method all we get are ??????
's

       we also tried restream.savetofile(c:\bob.txt) and this works fine
using the "read" blob data

        anyone met this before?

Dim rsMsg as new adodb.recordset
Dim rsstream as adodb.stream
Set rsMsg = openrecordset(strsql, , adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic)
           Set rsStream = New ADODB.Stream

           rsStream.Type = adTypeBinary
           rsStream.Open
