How to get the File-Type from a BLOB-Column

pavlov991Oct 7 2005 — edited Oct 11 2005

Hi all,

I have the database table with the BLOB-Column. In this column are Word/Pdf/Excel/... files can be stored.
Now I want to open these Files from Webforms.
I can download the file from database to the client and then open the file with client_ole2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
But I can not be sure that the file is a Word-Document.
How can I know which application is saved in the BLOB-column?

Regards
