If the error occurs on a non-live (dead, canned) query or a table with no indexes, then increasing the new BDE 4.x configuration parameter 'BLOBS TO CACHE' will fix the problem. This setting determines how many BLObs will be cached on the client. Applications that deal with fetching dead BLObs using dead table opens or queries can set a limit on the number of BLObs to cache depending on the resource available on the client. Setting a value 00 means the application can work with a maximum of 00 BLOb records cached. Fetching more than 00, then scrolling back 00 records results in an "Invalid BLOb handle in record buffer" error message. NOTE:This parameter does not apply to live table opens. Default Value: 64 Range: 64 to 65536
