Hi James,

Yes - RSS can even show the contents of some formats in a BLOB field, like a JPEG. But this is a read-only feature.

To get the BLOB into the field, I sometimes use GET_BLOB_FROM FILE or HTTP_GET_BLOB.

Fascinating. How would I use GET_BLOB_FROM FILE or HTTP_GET_BLOB? Never heard of them.
