I have created a FB database, one table of which has blobs. The blob fields
are set with subtype 0 (binary). I populated the table with several
different .bmp's using the insert query, which succeeds.

Now I would like to view the contents of the blob with a Delphi database
app. I have used two different data access component sets (tIB and tIBO).
Both fail with the error, "Bitmap image is not valid". Since the error is
repeated in both cases, I am inclined to suspect that I have not set up the
table properly.

A similar post has been left on the IB list.

Would appreciate any ideas.
