Is it possible to extract OLE embedded images from a table back to a folder
as files?
As I am talking about several thousand pictures, I am looking for a
reasonably automated solution.
I am using access 2003 (and 2000)
Thanks
 
I don't have a reasonably automated solution, only a completely automated
one.

NEW - Feb 06/2006 ExtractInventoryOLE.zip A2K or higher ONLY! This
version saves the entire contents of a table containing OLE Objects to disk.
Does NOT require the original application that served as the OLE server to
insert the object. Supports all MS Office documents, PDF, All images
inserted by MS Photo Editor, MS Paint, and Paint Shop Pro. Also supports
extraction of PACKAGE class including original Filename. Contains function
to produce a full Inventory of the OLE field including LINKED path and
Filenames. Uses Structured Storage API's to read the actual contents of the
field. Version BETA 1.56

Well, thank you, but It does not work. I get an error message telling me that
the format is not supported.
The original OLE server is a photowise picture (AGFA) aplication that came
with my first camera. Can this be the reason, and can this be solved,
transferring for ex. to another OLE server or ..?

Thanks

Obvioulsy, that OLE Server app is not listed as one of the supported apps on
the ExtractOLE Web page. If you send me a MDB containing a couple of Images
I will have a look and see if I can support it. As long as it is stored
uncompressed there should not be an issue.
Can you send me the AGFA application as well?
Please make sure you place all files within a ZIP archive.
