Hello friends
I have  a strange problem, I have OLE objects like, *.doc, *.xls, *.bmp 
etc all these files have been embedded in oracle database using OLE2.0 & 
wrapping technology. Well I have to extract this  data outof BLOB column 
from Oracle database & store it in OS file in its respective format
For Eg. If the BloB data which has been embedded in Oracle database using 
OLE2.0 & wrapping is of  *.doc file then the OS file  which I have stored 
after extraction  I should be able to open in MS word.
Well in this task I  am able to extract the file using GETCHUNK feature 
from VB , but I am not able to open the OS file in MS word as it is saying 
the error 
the document you are  trying to open is not supported by MS Word
So please any one of you can help me to solve this problem I wil be very 
helpful. also if you have suported code for ths problem It is welcome
Not only  using VB if you have code of any other langauges also itis 
welcomed
