Hi There,
A system built in 1996 enabled users to create AmiPro documents that were consequently stored as Binary Large OBjects (BLOBS) in a SQL database.
The system was changed in 1999 so new documents were created as word files (but still stored in SQL server as BLOBS). Old Amipro documents could still be opened up and viewed.
The desktops have since been upgraded to Windows 2000, which does not allow 16Bit applications to run, hence all the old Amipro documents can now not be accessed.
There are approximately 120,000 Amipro 'BLOBS' in the system.
Does anybody have any idea how I can re-jig the system to allow users to view the AmiPro BLOB's.
Regards

Well i dont know if there is a AMI converter in word. But i think you have to look for specific tools.
Or you could do the following write an VB app that restores the AMI document to disk, Next read the document in word and convert it to a word document. Next update the BLOB in the database and go with the next record.
I think this is the only possible way.....
I dont think there is a standard tool to accomplish this task
