ADSFile2Blob()

Save a Binary file to a field
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Syntax

        ADSFile2Blob(cFileName, cFieldName, <nBinaryType>) --> lSuccess  

 Arguments

        <cFileName>      File to read. Can be in UNC format. A common 
                  example is an image file.

        <cFieldName>     Field in the current workarea to contain the 
                  binary data.

        <nBinaryType>    Either ADS_BINARY (the default) or ADS_IMAGE. 
                  This parameter is for fields in DBF files.  ADT tables
                  cannot store binary and image data in standard character
                  memo fields (they have specific field types for that).

 Returns

        <lSuccess>     True if the file is successfully written.
