Is there a way in VB6 to Enter in a persons information like name, address...etc and take a picture and store the persons info as well as the image name in a database.

For example:

I enter the persons name:
John Smith

Then I have a button programmed to snap a picture from a web cam or digital camera, that I press and take the persons picture.

Now I want the persons info and the image named stored in the same record. Is this possible and does anyone know how.
First things first though, how would I control the external camera with VB6 to take the picture(this is probably the most important part of my question), then second how would I go about storing it to a database?
