displaying field contents as image.picture

[monkey666]

I have a table with a binary memo field. Stored to this is a bmp file (not the path - the actual file itself). How do I view the contents of this field as the picture in an image control?

eg image1.picture=mytable.myfield

Monkey,
You'll probably need to extract the data back into a temporary file. e.g.

=strtofile(mytable.myfield, "mypic.bmp")
image1.picture = "mypic.bmp"

This assumes that you put the data into the memo field using filetostr() and it's not really a General field with an embedded OLE data file.
