Of course you're right, Jason.



It's straight forward to use these built-in IBO procedures when writing to
and reading from files.



In former times when I wrote my functions I was not aware of
them and had knowledge only about the TIB_BlobStream.CreateForColumn
procedure
and I had to help myself with this loop way.



So, Terry, the code for reading the pdf would be:



DM.qryScan.FieldByName('PDFIMAGE').LoadFromFile(myPath + '\myPdf.pdf')


and for writing to a file:



DM.qryScan.FieldByName('PDFIMAGE').SaveToFile(myPath + '\myPdf.pdf')

What's the problem with TIB_Column.LoadFromFile() and
TIB_Column.SaveToFile()?

Seems to me you are way over-complicating things.
