that file and should be able to edit it at click of a button. how would i do
it????
i think i can use appendchunk/get chunk method ,but i donno how to use it??
 
What you need to do depends on whether the field contains an OLE package
containing the file (which is what happens if you drag a file's icon
onto an Access OLE field or BoundObjectFrame control), or whether the
field simply contains the binary contents of the file.

If the former, write code that drives a form and an ObjectFrame. If the
latter, Stephan Lebans recently posted this answer:
There's code in my SaveRestoreRelationShipsWIndow MDB that shows how to
Get Long Binary data directly from a Recordset.
A search on GoogleGroups for my name and PUT or GET will show you how to
Put or Get data from a long Binary field or a file on disk.
