How to Access OLE Object from VB

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
I have a ole object as datatype for a picture field in MS ACCESS. A picture is stored there. How do I load it on to a picture box in VB. The LoadPicture(recordset!field) syntax does not work.
Please Help.
Thanx

rainbow,

you can open the recordset read the field into a variable, and then place it in your picture frame.

Hope This Helps

But what will be the datatype of the variable.

Is it say,
Dim pic as variant.
pic = rs!picturepath

picture1.picture= loadpicture(pic)

I think
this won't work as the datatype of pic will be the same as the field name.
Can you try it out.
Thanks anyway.
