Re: Excel BLOB

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Still gathering information from the vendor on how they'll use it, but
basically they have a package, running on Windows I believe, that needs to
export all this data into their own database system.  I don't know what that
system might be yet.

I'll know more, hopefully later on today.

I may be making this into a much bigger problem than it is.

A bit tricky as a CSV file is a plain text file, so you will need to do 
some encoding anyway.

How is the recipient expecting to use this embedded image file?
