Binding an Image to a picturebox

[Ryan]

I have a very basic form that has controls bound to a SQL 2005 database for
an Employee Directory. I'm using a PictureBox control to bind to the
"Photo" field which is of datatype image. However, it doesn't seem to work.
It does not display the image from the database (it's blank). Also, when I
use a function to upload a new image, it displays correctly but shows
regardless of which record I am on. It then does not save to the database
on the dataset update command.

Help!'
Thanks,
Ryan

Nevermind it was some problem with the data imported from another database.
I cleared the photo field for all records and it works fine now (uploading
and saving).

Sorry!
