I wish. I've spent the last 6 weeks trying to get such
information. Problem is was built by an Austrian company
6 yrs ago and unfortunately the Austrian guys are not
very forthcoming with information.

There is no documenation on what the machine is doing
and what it might be
putting in the field? (and how you might read that
information)

I thought that might be the case. It may be that I can
decipher the binary numbers when I see them which is
why
I'm still trying.

Thanks for all your help. What I'm trying to do is
move
some data stored as an OLE object from access to
excel
in
the hope that I'll be able to view it as numerical
values
which is what I think it is. The data comes directly
from
a machine which measures the height of water in 48
separate glasses. At the moment all I see is "long
binary
data" in the field dbf_messdaten.

Long binary data is unlikely to be simple numeric
values.
Typically this type is used to store binary files such
as images.

You really need to know the data format before you
can make a sensible use of it.
