    I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but I guess you wish to make a flowfield that is of type lookup to a BLOB field?

    That is not possible, because BLOB fields are very related to flowfields (i.e. you need to do a calcfields before exporting it). And just as you can't make a flowfield based on a flowfield you can't base it on a BLOB either.

    Depending on how you wish to use it, you might be able to solve it by creating a function on the table instead. You can easily show the output of the function directly on a form, however you can't set a filter on it.

    Hi,

    Since BLOB fields are managed thru Import/Export and Clear, you can make another field boolean, editable-false and change its value in the onvalidate trigger of your BLOB by using the HASVALUE of the BLOB.
