Author Adding a digital photo to a table
Dan Goldberg

2005-04-23, 9:23 am

I am working on an order entry system and would like to be able to add
to the form that defines the model a digital photo. (e.g.. pushbutton
"Enter photo") I have never used ole fields and would appreciate any
suggestions or tutorial references that would point me in the right
direction.

Thanks
Dan Goldberg

Why an OLE field? It's so easy to store digital photos in _binary_
fields.

Dan:
Besides the comment from Jean Pierre...

I use the system of referencing the images.. in another way..

Add a field on the table called PHOTO and put the name of
the image there.

Then the image object can take it from the table without interfering with
it.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestions and references. I was also able to find
some code from previous new group discussions on the topic of importing
photo's to binary fields.
