I read this in the Delphi 3.0 release notes, but suspect they apply to D2 too: INFORMIX - USING VERSION 7.2 WITH BLOB FIELDS If you open a BLOB field on an Informix 7.2 server, trying to move to another record causes the server to crash. This is caused by an Informix problem corrected in version 7.21 of their server. You can also revert to version 7.14 to avoid the problem. Reference case number 55155 when contacting Informix for an update. ------------------------------------,------------------------------------------ Kerry Sainsbury, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz | THE INFORMIX FAQ v2.5 June 96 Quanta Systems, Auckland | http://www.iiug.org/techinfo/faq/ New Zealand.
