I'm usin access 97 and have a field with data type ole
object. In the table the field just displays "long binary
data". How am I able to see this data in decimal form?
 
Dave:

Access won't allow you to display this in long decimal form in the table,
nor will the zoom box work in a table. If its pure decimal data then you'll
have to create your own form to view the data, writing the table data out to
a variable and then setting that into a text box.

Click to expand...

You can right-click the field to see/ display/ edit the object.

To see its binary contents, you'll probably need to use GetChunk to extract
the bytes and display them somehow. OLE fields are pretty VBA-hostile in
general, though.

Best of luck!
