I am trying to display a picture in an Image control. The picture is stored in an Access table as an OLE object. I am trying to use recordset.fields(i) to get the object, which may be part of the problem. Any ideas?
 
I couldn't get it to do this either unfortunatly, so would love to know how instead I put the images into a resource file and used a field on my DB to call the image to the image control.
Its a work around I know but unless one of the guru's knows its all I have :(
 

You need to get the data using the GetChunck method and save it to a temporary file, and then retrieve the picture using the VB LoadPicture method.
This is easier than it sounds.
