I have a MS Access database that stores any kind of file's (.zip, .xls, .doc) in a OLE field. I want now to access this data through a website using asp.net. How do you handel the OLE field in asp.net? So far i only get the "system byte" out of this field when i use the datagrid. I am using a OLE connection to connect to access. Replies

Why not store the filename only in your database that refers to your files? Your databae will be faster and more flexible.

I'am not very familiar using ASP.NET in Dreamweaver MX. I would suggest you to download the Web Matrix from www.asp.net or download Visual Web Developer 2005 Express from www.microsoft.com
With that tools you can use ASP.NET more easy and dynamic than with DMX2004 (my opinion)
