OLE field size?

[Wiele]

Hi
I'm looking for a way to check the size of the file that was used to populate an Access OLE field.
I've got a file on hard drive (any type), and I then add it to an Access database's OLE field. Now I would like to know how big was the orginal file.


I tried the Access Len(OleField) function, but that is not accurate - probably because of the headers that Access add to OLE objects.
I also tried to save the OLE field back as a file on the hard drive (on 3 different ways) but the new file's size is not the same as the file before it was added as the OLE object.
Especially PDF files are 10x bigger.
Any ideas?
