imbedded pic

[FSt1]

greetings all,
I have an imbedded picture on the main form of our
database. the original picture has been lost/deleted.
Is there a way to download the picture (imbedded into the
form ) to a drive in say jpg format or bmp format.
odd question i know but a situation has come up and sales
needs the pic for other purposes.
thank in advance.

Two ways that I can think of:

1. You can convert the raw binary back to a picture. I've done that with an
ActiveX control (DBPix http://www.ammara.com)

2. You can do a screen capture (Alt + PrtScn) and paste into MS-Paint, or
use SnagIt (http://www.techsmith.com)

Thank you arvin,
I didn't think of using Paint.
(The other 2 look complicated)

A third alternative is here:

It's the older Bitmap version:
SavePictureDataBitmap is a database containing functions to allow you to
save the contents of an Access Image control a disk based Bitmap file.
Specifically it creates a Bitmap file from the PictureData Property.
