I've been trying to figure out how to read from a varbinary field for quite
some time without any luck.  Some of the symbols return as question marks.
I'm using Borload C++ Builder 6 and ADO components.  I did figure out how to
update a field in hexadecimal.

    pQuery->Close();
    pQuery->SQL->Clear();
    pQuery->SQL->Add("insert into tablename (key,binfield) values
('1',0x"+hexVal+")");
    pQuery->ExecSQL();

I also figured a way around it that worked for a while.  I used "IdHTTP1" to
download a php webpage that returned the fields data.  But once a field got
larger then 256 bytes that stopped working.

I've heard that blobs do not work with varbinary fields.  I'm not sure if
that is true, but I haven't been able to retrieve it as a blob.

TADOBlobStream *Stream = new
TADOBlobStream((TBlobField*)pQuery->Fields->Fields[0],bmRead);

Is there a way to return a query in hexadecimal or in a stream so that
extended character info is saved?  Should I change components?

Thanks
