Service is quite good and would like to have such a feature in my VB
application. Unfortunately, I don't know how to implement it easily. Does
anybody know whether there is a component or DLL to let programmer to
implement it ?
You can program DTS from a component, but I am not sure this is what you
are trying to do. As far as BLOB data goes, you can store multiple types of
docs in a database, along with a type (for searching since searching BLOBs
not the best performance idea) and a doc name to save to, etc.
To use the SQL DTS DLLs, install SQL Server. The libraries are in RLL
files, so I would not know how to register them otherwise.
