From what you are saying, you are retrieving a copy of an object from the database which would be a binary word doc object( or it could be some other VBA Object?). If you wanted to retrieve the text from that object, then you could try to operate on that object with a OLE method it would understand. You may have to first create another OLE word object and then set it equal to the object you retrieve from the database and then grab the text using OLE. As it is, I would expect it to garbled, it is an object and not text.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
