How to save Excel spreadsheet in SQL Database

I need to understand how I can save an excel spreadsheet in the SQL 7.0 db.
Am I trying to save the XLS file or just a link to it' I have a VB6 front
end to the SQL database.
ThanksYou're probably better off saving a link to the XLS, depending on what
you're doing with it in your application. The links are easier to
store and retrieve and you don't have to deal with the overhead of
storing and retrieving large binary objects in your database.
