Invalid BLOB Handle In Record Buffer

Posted on 05 March 2010 by Bob Ritter

GoldMine generates an  ‘Invalid BLOB handle in record buffer’ when you are working in GoldMine. Typically this happens when you’re looking at  the History Tab, Pending Tab, or  Activities List.

This is because these areas of GoldMine have more items being viewed with notes than can be handled by your Borland Database Engine for the number of notes fields to cache in memory. You simply need to increase the BLOBS TO CACHE settings in BDE.

To change this setting, open the BDE Administrator and locate your GoldMine database alias.  Increase the BLOBS TO CACHE setting to 1024.

You can access the BDE from the Control Panel or via GoldMines menu.
