I ran into this recently and didn't find any way around it. Access
doesn't have any ability to discern a file's type from its contents,
so it has to wrap a BLOB in an OLE object so it can remember what it
is. My solution was to convince my boss to migrate away (eventually)
from the Access interface to HTML. :)
The problem might be soluble with enough programming on the Windows
side (you might write a VB clone of the Access app, for example) but I
don't have, or want, enough Windows expertise to say for sure.
