Data conversion for "long binary fields" (blob)?

[Susan]

I created a MySQL table which holds data for prospective instructor for
classes. The form online has fields Course_Description and Qualifications.
I ended up using a blob field because of length limitations on text fields.
Now I am importing the table into Access and I can see the fields for
Course_Description and Qualifications which are "long binary data". I would
like to convert the fields now so that I can read the contents, design a
form, etc.

How would one do this or do I need to abandon blob type fields? The data
type shows as OLE type

Thanks,
Susan

Never mind. I got it figured out! I needed to use longtext and not blob.
