saving an image in the Access??

[qajussi]

Hi!

I am trying to understand how the image gets saved.
I have a table and a form for the image.
How does this work??

TblPhoto
ID autonum
Photo OLE object

Form
to paste the image.
say i paste an image called dog.jpg on the form.

How does this get saved??

does table have name of image or actual image??
how does it look in the table??
Thanks.

...there's some code the guy there uses...I haven't looked it over but it looks like the basic idea that I've used in the past--AppendChunk.

It's less complex however to store only file paths in a simple table, and use the loadpicture method with the file path to load a picture box. This has other disadvantages, but it's simpler to code.
