The Bytes type is a special type. It's a Blob. Use the same method as by a memofield or graphicfield: use a stream to read/write to/from it...
Hello, anybody there? ;-)
Greetings.
 
This question is still open today, perhaps it was overlooked or just lost in the volumes.  Please return to this question to update it with comments if more information is needed to get your solution.  If you've been helped by the participating expert(s), you may just convert their comment to the accepted answer and then grade and close.  If an answer has ever been proposed you may not have this option to accept the comment as answer, if that is the case, ask the specific expert you wish to award to post an answer.     This benefits others who then search our PAQ for just this solution, and rewards the experts who have provided information.  A win/win scenario.  Please DO NOT accept this comment as an answer,  it is merely a reminder.
 
If you wish to award multiple participants, you can do so by creating a zero point question in the Community Support topic area, include this link and tell them which experts you'd like to award what amounts.  If you'd like to delete this question, use the same process as above, but explain why you think it should be deleted.  Here is the Community Support link:   https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt
 
You can always click on your profile to see all your open questions, in the event you also have other open items to be resolved.   If your number of Questions Asked is not equal to the number of Answers Graded, choose to VIEW question history, and you'll quickly be able to navigate to your open items to close them as well.
 
I've had excellent help from experts-exchange through the years and find the real key to getting what I need is to remain active in all my questions, responding with results to suggestions until my solution is found, and recommend that highly.
 
Thank you very much for your responsiveness, it is very much appreciated.

P.S.  Some of the older questions from last year are not in the proper comment date order, and Engineering has been advised.

To assist you in your cleanup, I'm providing the following guidelines:

1.  Stay active in your questions and provide feedback whenever possible. Likewise, when feedback has not been provided by the experts, commenting again makes them receive an email notification, and they may provide you with further information. Experts have no other method of searching for questions in which they have commented, except manually.

2.  Award points by hitting the Accept Comment As Answer button located above and to the left of that expert's comment.

3.  When grading, be sure to read:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp#3
to ensure that you understand the grading system here at EE. If you grade less than an A, you must explain why.

4.  Questions that were not helpful to you should be PAQ'd (stored in the database for their valuable content?even if not valuable to you) or deleted. To PAQ or delete a question, you must first post your intent in that question to make the experts aware. Then, if no experts object after three full days, you can post a zero-point question at community support to request deletion or PAQ. Please include the link(s) to the question(s).
CS:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt
At that point, a moderator can refund your points and PAQ or delete the question for you. The delete button does not work.

5.  If you fail to respond to this cleanup request, I must report you to the Community Support Administrator for further action.

Our intent is to get the questions cleaned up, and not to embarrass or shame anyone. If you have any questions or need further assistance at all, feel free to ask me in this question or post a zero-point question at CS. We are very happy to help you in this task!


thanks!

P.S.  For any year 2000 questions, special attention is needed to ensure the first correct response is awarded, since they are not in the comment date order, but rather in Member ID order.
Points for Alex_Workshop -> https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qManageQuestion.jsp?qid=20280159

Pretty sad to see abandoned questions; breaks my heart.  Help requested, help given and then ...... sound of silence.

Point split done, question finalized.  Please comment in yours above to complete.
