Before Marco or Will will come by a first hint : A folderitem is a  
reference to the file but doesn't contain the content of this file.  
The blobcolumn of a databaserecord expects a string (and not a  
folderitem), in your case a string with the content of your file. So  
you have to read all the content probably in a memoryblock and then  
store the stringvalue in the blobcolumn. And I guess there is lot to  
think about when storing a file (restoring creation/mod. date,  
type ,creatot etc)
