ok - I was too quick with my pseudo coding - sorry
but this seems to work
AnsRVF :=
IB_QConvertToRTF.CreateBlobStream(IB_QConvertToRTF.FieldByName('ANSWER'),
bsmRead);
AnsRTF :=
IB_QConvertToRTF.CreateBlobStream(IB_QConvertToRTF.FieldByName('ANSWERRTF'),
bsmWrite);
RichViewUtil.LoadRVFFromStream(AnsRVF);
RichViewUtil.SaveRTFToStream(AnsRTF, False);
AnsRVF.Free;
AnsRTF.Free;
This way I don't have to Assign or Copyto
thanks
