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

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.
