PHPRunner General questions

I have a MySQL table with a longblob field that contains a MS Word document. I want to be able to open the longblob field in MS Word.

Hi!
I think you have to create a custom button or php sniplet which is do something like:

Simply set 'View as' type of this field to 'File' in PHPRunner.

I have tried that and it opens as 'read only' in MS Word. I have tried numerous workarounds to get rid of the 'read only' with no luck. I have worked with Visual Foxpro for years and was able to use OLE2 to embed the document directly into the database and not have to consider single .docx files to open and save.

Such thing as embedding documents does not exist in web applications. You can only download the document, make changes and upload it back.

Is there a way to prevent MS Word from opening the doc in 'Read only' mode?

I don't think this is PHPRunner question. What web application does is allows you to download file via web browser. The rest is between MS Word and your local machine configuration.
