| Don't know about your file conversion problem, but here's some code to read
the entire
ole object to a byte array & save it as a file.
Dim filenum As Integer
Dim ab() As Byte
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Set db = opendatabase("c:\somedatabase.mdb")
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SomeTable")
rst.MoveLast
ReDim ab(rst("SomeOleObjectField").FieldSize)
ab() = rst("SomeOleObjectField").GetChunk(0,
rst("SomeOleObjectField").FieldSize)
rst.Close
db.Close
filenum = FreeFile
Open "c:\somepath\somefile.ext" For Binary As #filenum
Put #filenum, , ab()
Close #filenum
