Hi all
thought you might all be interested in a little sample db i put together
There are 2 functions of intrest.
1. AddNewFile (Add a new file and places it into a table without any ballooning)
2. ExtractFile (extracts the file back onto a drive)
Personally I use these functions for embedding Fonts
At work, the network has very few fonts and installing new fonts onto
every machine that uses the database is rather annoying.
I keep a load of fonts in the table ready to be used.
When the database is first executed, the font files are extracted to "C:\WINNT\FONTS"
Now i can use as many different fonts as I like (as long as I keep em in the table and extract them.
The sample is just a quick demo, the functions are in a module so should be easily usable/changable.
Hope this helps someone
Homer!
