Access BMP file from a database (MSAccess)

Dipak:

If you are using DAO then checkout:::

Some months ago I wrote a tip of the month that I call 'Store then Retrieve
a File from a Jet Database Field'. Link to http://www.buygold.net/tips then
look for the October 2000 tip of the month. A sample program is provided.

This is the 4th most downloaded tip from my site. From the tip's intro:

I recently had a requirement to store a picture in a Jet [Access] database.
I had never done this before so I posted a question in a couple of the news
groups. I got suggestions on how to store the picture but I didn't get any
real code - so I wrote some VB code to test the suggestions. I generalized
the code, encapsulated it in a DLL, and decided to make it the October
tip-of-the-month.

Cheers,
Larry Rebich
