Using the example program vbbind32 that came with the activeX I tried to use my database instead of the leadpic database that came with it. It won't load the image though as it does with the leadpic database. Why is that? For the application I need to create the .jpg file needs to be inside the database and not just a reference to the filename stored somewhere else. How do I do that?    Report

A 2nd solution is for you to fetch the data from the BLOB field yourself, and then use LoadMemory to load the image. Ike Starnes LEAD Technologies, Inc.    Report
