>> Whether you use bytes or integers is up to you.
Not fussed but want to be as economical with memory as possible. I was
referring to packing two bytes int the normal
16 bits taken by an ordinary signed integer not a longint.<
The normal signed integer is the same as a longint - both take 4 bytes.
Smallint is the 2 byte type.
> I presume the buffer you refer to is for 'TField.GetData'
No I wasn't. It isn't possible to use this method on fields that represent
Blob data. There are descendents of TField that do but this is an area
where
I am coming unstuck.

Yes, I remember now. See the Blobstream help...
