Re: blob objects

I am using Informix Online Workgroup Server version 7.22, running on windows NT and my application is developed using Powerbuilder version 6.0 running on Win95 platform. The Invalid Page Fault is win95 error messages. We using Informix CLI for connectivity between the win95 client and the OWS NT server. I am not sure if the problem is with the Powerbuilder, However the error message is seem to pointing at the insufficient memory problem, but I am not sure about this. May be the problem is the memory, or the database, if its application, I think I have not much choice but to get the patch to fix the problem. I know this news group is very helpful, and I am grateful for that. Thank you. Syed.
