# 221 Access Violation During Blob Open in Delphi 4 Data Access Components

---

I am, however, experiencing one problem with respect to getting data into blob fields. I have written the following code:

if dlgOpen.Execute then
with tblMain do
begin
Append;
try
tblMainDescription.Value := dlgOpen.Filename;
tblMainImage.LoadFromFile(dlgOpen.Filename);
Post;
except
Cancel;
end;
end;

- where dlgOpen is a Picture Open Dialog, tblMain is my table, tblMainDescription is a string field to hold the description of a file and tlbMainImage is a blob field to hold a picture file's contents.

Basically, the LoadFromFile statement always generates a GPF - any ideas?
