HELP with fetching file from field

[John Cosmas]

I have a field that contains a file which I would like to copy to the local
hard drive. Please make adjustments and suggestions to the code below.

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

ENDSCAN

The .Document field stores the a physical file in it (i.e. PDF, TXT, TIFF)
which I would like to retrieve and place onto disk. Any assistance would be
most appreciated.

Hi John,

You haven't said whether your field is a Memo or General field. If you have
a Memo field you can use Copy Memo or StrToFile(). For a General field you
may have to use low-level file functions.
