Getting object from GENERAL field

[John Cosmas]

Does anyone have code that will take the contents of a GENERAL type field
and put it onto hard disk? Here is my existing code, which may encounter
files types TIF, GIF and PDF that is stored in the field.

USE E:\GIMDATA07042005\Database\FILENOTE0008
SCAN
SCATTER MEMVAR
COPY FILENOTE0008.Document TO C:\*.*

ENDSCAN

Please help.

You can check www.abri.com. He used to have something that would take data
from Genereal fields, but I don't know what format. General fields are a
waste of time.
