GetChunk would be one way, or you could load the image into an adodb.stream object.

The adodb.stream is easier..

for one approach

I have used it with a stored proc and command object before, but this approach looks ok.

Sorry supid me. I didn't sleep well last night and miss read your post.

You just want to load an image into a picture box.

The only issue with that is file type.
and I am 99% certain that tif doesn't work. (I don't have vb6 installed on this system so can't check)

You might try putting it into an ie webbrowser control
(microsoft internet control) or using an ole control.. but they really don't do what you want.

You might need to either look into changing your image type or finding a custom control commercially.

You can use the kodak/wang imageedit control to load and display (if you want) tiff files on MS's OS's 9x to 2k. If on XP then check with MS on one of two solutions. One being installing those controls on XP or downloading a different SDK for tiffs.

Good Luck
