I have a picture stored in an ole field in one of my access databases. Im
trying to put that picture into a picture box in one of my vb.net programs.
Unfortunately I keep on getting a type cast error whenever I try to copy it
there (through code) If I set a variable to variant and then read the value
into there, it wont error out on me and it's no longer set as nothing so
something was read into it but I still can't type cast the variable as an
image and copy it to the picture box. Can someone help me with this please.

Are you using VB 6, or VB.NET?
