I'm using the Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db) since my tables are

Borland has neve published the internal format of Paradox tables so any
other driver was created by reverse engineering the table format. I
have no idea if the Microsoft Paradox driver has a problem with blobs
but ADO works fine with blobs in other databases so the only thing left
is the driver or your code. That seems to leave your with three choices.

1. Open a support incident with Microsoft and see if they can solve the
problem.

2. Use the BDE to access Paradox tables.

3. Change to another database.

I wish I could be of more help but with the information available all I
can do is guess.

To add to Bill's comment:
I recently had some troubles with Paradox-tables and MS-drivers. (this had
however nothing to do with blob-fields)
Eventhough it seemed to work on the surface, the BDE was still needed. Don't
know why, can't remember the exact details. Just my two pennies.
