I'm looking to Bitmaps into a database. I have created an image field in my table and I'm trying to get textcopy to work. It actually worked a couple times, then never again. There must be a way using VB code to do this. Here is my textcopy code - maybe I am just missing a parameter: Shell "c:\textcopy /s [IP Here] /U [username] /P [password] /D [databasename] /T [tablename] /C [columnname] /W " & Chr(34) & "where ID = '" & Val(frmA.txtID) & "'" & Chr(34) & " /F [path] " & ID & ".bmp /I"
