ODBC to use MS Access as frontend for Informix 7.2

First of all: I am not a programmer - but just a poor user, who is alone in the jungle of ODBC. We do have a database (informix 7.2) the data of which we would like to use in MS Access (97). Just works fine with Informix CLI-32 2.5. The problem is that some of the rows do not show the real data but "long binary-Daten". Somebody told me that this is in connection with BLOBs (whatever that may be). What can I do to have access to this data (we just want to read them in order to make reports)? Is it possible to convert this information to "Memo"? Does it only depend on the ODBC-drivers? THANX for solutions! Peter Schmiedseder
