RE: [KCFusion] file property
If there is no special header, then the only way Windows knows how to handle a file is by looking at the file name extension (doc, html, pdf, cfm, etc.). Of course that can vary from one machine to another.

RE: [KCFusion] file property
Well I may have spoken a bit quickly, there are of course file attributes such as permissions and so on. But I thought we were talking about how the system knows how to open a file. You need to find someone with experience putting files instead of just data into databases; that's a relatively specialized area of knowledge. If I hear of something I'll pass it along.

RE: [KCFusion] file property
Title: RE: [KCFusion] file property The byte order seems to be the same. The file ending is the same. There's no cr's in the file at all. I did however find the problem. I'm not sure what it means, but the difference between the original file and the second file is that the original file actually has 0 value bytes in the file, and the second file has these values converted to 20h or 32 dec, which is a space. I bet if I made a program that just read in bytes and converted all 0's to 20's, it'd work just fine.
