Access image file help!?

[twinlizards]

I have an access database file and am having trouble with the imaga part of it. It is an inhereted program and the image file says "long binary data". Whenever I try to edit or make new image data, whatever the program gives me doen't work. It usually gives me a "package" or "bitmap" or whatever format it allows me. I cannot find or get this to read "long binary data". Do I need to use my VB to do this?

Dude,

I'm going to list some things here. They aren't necessarily the end all of everything, but given all of the posts, they are correct:

stop wrestling with the idea of the "long binary info" It's not going to help you. It is the wrong path to find your solution. It is only relevant to Access, using it for other programs would be very impractical and inefficient. Also, think of it this way.. if the data is already in access, wouldn't access be able to handle it? why do you need vb.

piping the data from access to vb is also the wrong solution.

get a firm grasp of forms, and of tables. --in access.

stop using vb, it is not easier to use this for.

learn what you need to learn, forms and table. You are jumping ahead of yourself. -get an access book. stop with this picture thing for a while, come back to it later.

Alas, I am still interested in the long binary data and image stuff, for right now that is all I am doing with this database, adding images to it-text already works.
