I am using a sql database. In one of the tables we are storing a word doc in a varbinary(Max) format in a table .

I need to be able to insert this field into a spreadsheet as an attachment. I am writing in VB.net code (not C#). Could someone give me an example of how to do this. I couldn't find an example on your site nor on the internet.

thanks

Hi David,

Thank you for considering Aspose products.

Please check this technical article on how to manage Ole Objects in a spreadsheet. Also have a look at this post for embedding PDF files in a spreadsheet as an Ole Object. You can achieve the same for Word documents. All you have to do is to flip the OleFileType to Docx or Doc while providing the ObjectData of a Word file. The resultant spreadsheet will contain an icon representing the attachment, and once clicked the attachment will open into its respective application.

Please feel free to write back in case you have further questions.
