dotnet academic: I have an Access database with one field in a table defined as "OLE Object". I can of course insert objects (such as a bitmap image) into this field with Access' "Insert" pull-down menu option, but how do I programmatically do the same thing? Let's say I have a bitmap file containing a picture of someone which I want to insert into this field. How do I get the contents of that bitmap file into my Access field

- Thanks

howdy,

i do sorta the same thing.

Open your table, and create a OLE field.

Insert your pictures, as needed - linked, not embedded - too much overhead.

Create a form that lists this OLE field.

I am trying to setup a 'browse' button on my form that has this functionality. Unfortunately, the only way I have to do it is to open my original table, and right-click on the OLE field, and insert the proper picture.

good luck,

Will

Well any programming language you preferring to do it in, in VB one way is to create an ole object on a form that is linked to your access Database field and use the command
OLE_Image_Picture.CreateEmbed FilenameHere

Hi, have you figured out how to insert an OLE Object into Access Database?
