Hola All,
Maybe someone can help me here.
I have an access table, with images stored in the table as "long binary data". I do know these are inages, but have no idea of what format, or how to view them.
Is there anyway to find out what file is stored in the "long binary data" field, and ofcourse how to open it for view??
When I double click all I get is "OLE is not registered...".
All help will be great,
tnx in advance,
Eli
 
Where did you get the images from? you really need to consult the source and find out the format. Alternatively, save one image out of the file and trhen try file extensions like .jpg one by one til you find the right one. .jpg, .bmp, .tif are likely extensions. Of course, you'll need a grapphics package with the necessary interpreters loaded.
