I'm having issues with Large Binary / Text Database OLE Objects. Before, they were working fine, but out of nowhere, they stopped working. The image belows shows the definition for the column.

I usually activate these by doing the following code.
//Opens the document and allow editing
this.OLEActivate(row, "blob_1", 0)
The code returns 1, so it is saying it is successful, but nothing happens. It doesn't open the PDF or anything. I've also tried double-clicking on the Large Binary / Text Database OLE Object and nothing happens with that either. Before it stopped working, it opened the PDF just fine or allowed a PDF to be attached to the object. I have tried running both 32 & 64 bit code, and none of them work. Any ideas as to what is going on?
