Picture / Image viewing in access

Guest

Hi

Is there way I can make access show images that's stored in my db without
viewing it in 3rd party like paint , imageviewer.

What happen is I store a picture using ole obj datatype embed the pic in DB.
Now that my pic is uploaded I want to be able to show this pic in a imagebox.

The problem I'm having is once I add the image box to me form it gives me a
browse option, this browse cannot look to my tables for the pic for some
reason,
ANyone know how I can get the newly uploaded pic displayed in a image box,
(NOT External viewers) .

Thank you so much for helping.

images are not usually store in a database. not
recommended either because it causes blote.
Normally images are stored on the disk in a certain folder.
to View the images with the image control, you set the
image's picture property to the file path of the image.
I would recomend removing your images form your db and
instead just store the file path to the images. this way
you can programmicly change the images in the image
control by programmicly changing the picture property.
