How do I extract embedded picture from an OLE object field??

[BakerUSMC]

Hello to all,

I have a database that has pictures embedded into an OLE Object field. I am now creating a new database that will use hyperlinks.

I need to extract the original picture from the embedded OLE field and save it on my computer. From that point, I know how to get the info i need for hyperlinks...

Does anyone know how to extract an embedded picture and save it to file?

Thanks,

BakerUSMC

Take a look at the GetChunk method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

I don't know much about that method... But I did find this link in another post:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;132003&Product=acc

Although they tell you how to use it for a MS Word Doc file... How can I change the coding for an picture file? And for it to work on multiple records?

Thanks so much!!!
