BLOB data type in VFP

Does anyone know if VFP can handle BLOB Data Type? I know that in Access a
BLOB is called an "OLE Object data type" and in SQL Server it is NTEXT or
IMAGE Data Type.
How does this work in VFP?
Thanks in advance,
Louis

Well, a BLOB can be handled by either a General field if it's a valid OLE
associated object -or- Memo binary if it's binary data and the association
is irrelevent or manually managed.

Thanks John,

I will be using binary data. Is this easy to do in VFP? Where can I read
about it or can you give me some hints as to how to go about doing this?

Thanks again,

Louis
