Exporting Stored Images

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have a quick question apparently not asked yet.

I have an A97 database with images stored in it. I'm trying to extract the
images and I don't know if there's an easy way to do it.

I know you're not supposed to store images in a DB, and I didn't. I just
have to find a way to get them out. We plan on storing the images elsewhere
and just linking to them, but I'd really like to keep the existing images.

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jay

I found one thing here:

However, it doesn't seem to extract every image. I'm trying to figure out
why.

The supported Image types and more importantly, the supported OLE Image
server apps that originally inserted the image, are detailed in the
description of the solution on the web page. Also, the solution does not
export linked images as they obviously already exist on disk.

What was the application that inserted the images in the first place?

Unfortunately, I don't know what app inserted the images. But it does
extract the bitmaps I think were inserted using MSPaint, so I'm happy.

Thanks!

I am always interested in supporting more formats/Server Apps. Can you Email
me a MDB with a couple of the Images that are failing to export?
