I figured it out. It was a size issue. That graphic was 62K. The biggest I had tried other that that was only 12k. I had to Enable Retrieval of Long Text in the ODBC connection and increase the buffer size.
Thanks if you were attempting to find a solution to this problem. = = = Original message = = = I wrote an app that inserts uploaded and cfhttp download images into a SQL-server and from there writes the images out to all my mirrored servers. It works great, however, I have this one graphic from a partner that provieds me with weather info. The graphic changes every 15 min so I grab it every 15 min. Here's the problem: That file and that file only gives me this error when I try to convert it to binary: Parameter 1 of function toBinary which is now "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAADreally big stringGBQgHBwcJCQ..." must be a base64-encoded string. Any ideas? BJ ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
