CHAPTER 17 Using OLE in a Report
Users Guide 499
2 Specify the table containing the blob as the data source for the report.
Be sure to include the key column in the data source. You cannot include
the blob column in the data source; if you try, a message tells you that its
datatype requires the use of an embedded SQL statement. You add the blob
column later in the Report painter workspace. (If you use Quick Select, the
blob column is not listed in the dialog box.)
3 Select Insert>Control>OLE Database Blob and click where you want the
blob column in the Design view.
The Database Binary/Text Large Object dialog box displays:
Setting properties for
the blob column
The following procedure describes the properties you need to set for the blob
column.
❖ To set properties for a blob column:
1 (Optional) Enter the client class in the Client Class box. The default is
DataWindow.
This value is used in some OLE server applications to build the title that
displays at the top of the server window.
2 (Optional) Enter the client name in the Client Name box. The default is
Untitled.
This value is used in some OLE server applications to build the title that
displays in the title bar of the server window.
