Creating a file object.

Hi, I have a file (Name and full path) and I want to store this file in an MS Access database. I know with the File and Directory class I can manipulate (Move, delete, rename etc.) this file but I want to create a kind of file object so I can enter it in a new row in a dataset and then store it in the database. So the database contains the actual file and not a reference to a file in a certain folder. Who can help me? J.
